Had heard about the high wear rate on the Vred's but with my low mileage use, they'd be getting changed due to age and not wear.

That's the one I used and it was nominal in my eyes at -3%

Thinking Of New Tyres, Advice & Help Needed
Just got my car at the weekend and it has Vorti's that are basically shagged on the rears with about 3mm tread left.
I was giving it the berries (considering the conditions) on soaking wet twisty roads on Saturday and the grip was fine. No hairy moments and trc only lit up once, briefly. Ambient temperature was around 10°.
The next day the sun was out and the roads were dry, with an ambient temp of around 13° and I headed for some twisties I know. The car was stuck like glue and I promise you I wasn't hanging about!
That's with worn out Vorti's so fresh ones will only be better and given that they are quite a bit cheaper than equivalents from the other big name brands I am struggling to find a reason why I would bother putting anything else on the car.
With all that said, I have had Dunlop Sportmax RT on recent cars and found them to be excellent and I fitted Michelin Pilot Sport 4s to my civic type r late last year and they were like super-glue in all conditions besides snow.
