Damn really heres the description of the tyres when i bought them,i bought these bcos they said they were good in the rain too

Two center cirumferential grooves design can efficiently direct water away and anhance superior wet handling. Computer-designed V-shaped drainage sub-grooves increase resistance to hydroplaning in high speed ruinning and deep water. Two-in-One pitches and variable-width tread design help to reduce pattern noise and promote a quieter comfort ride. Shoulder edge sipes design promotes even a long treadwear.

Dont worry about garages telling you not to go lower than 40.

You should have seen the local garage blokes face when i told him i dropped the front of mine -80

Car looks smart Btw.
