Included because the crap tariff prices are a big part of why some people are not buying them - that is the only reason I went for the touch and ditched the iphone idea.
Not sure about that !
All the above is well and good until you encounter a greasy roundabout or wet manhole cover mid corner where on s**t tyres oversteer will occur at very low speeds not close to the limit at all.
Understeer is far easier to correct than oversteer which is why they recommend you to have the best tyres on the back

As others have said the tyres are your only contact point with the road, good tyres all round is a no brainer
You can apply them no problem but the oilyness of the more traditional Glazes such as Megs #7 and #81 and the Clearkote glazes will kill the durability of most sealants that may go over them as they will not bond properly - some sealants such as Klasse, EGP and Jeffs wont bond to them at all...
The 4 inch spot pads are a must IMO, as is at least one of each pad grade, ideally it always good to have at least two of each grade in both full size and spot pads.
As long as you are happy to reapply the wax often that will work. Clearkote Vannilla Moose Hand Glaze topped with P21s would look good.
The Blackfire is shinier and lasts longer than the Poorboys. The Bold and Bight does give a decnt look but is not quite as glossy or long lasting.
Found the S crap in the damp on my old 205 GTi so have not bothered with them since. I have driven a mates 172 on the R's and found them slightly better, not as good as Goodyear F1s or Exaltos IMO.
