Little update!  Collected my new tyres today and got them fitted and had an alignment done today, I have to say it feels and grips 100x better now. Uniroyal rainsports 3's were my choice of tyre.  Now as I was waiting for the work to be done the mechanic shouted me over to show me something which was this...     After he asked me if I'd had any work done recently it clicked in my head that a wheel but snapped a few months ago and the garage who snapped it said they'd sort it for me, so they drilled it out, hadn't told me that's how they removed it and left my stud looking like that and the same drill marks have been left on one of the threads on my speed line, and they are pretty much 3 big holes, the current mechanic said he couldn't believe they'd done it and not warned me about it as the wheel nut was ruined too, and my speed line is wrecked and Unfixable now  the garage re-threaded it for me and put a new nut on just so it's secured until I have the money to get either a new speed line or a full new set.  So yeah! New tyres are on but I had the bad news of needing to spend more money on wheels! Hopefully get a new stud from Walker.
