Mine is a d5 with the 4c and i do like a "swift" drive in the nsl.

Have gone to cotinentals to see how they last.
previously had some continental premium contact on my v70, and they seem to last a good while. But i do think rotating tyres is a false economy. The tyres on the back will last forever, putting worn ones on the back only means you gonna need new ones on there quicker. Tyres on the front of a big car usually wear at 2.5 to 3 times quicker.
