A while ago someone mentioned Ling Long tyres. I nearly put them down as a made up name, but they do exist. I bought a set of secondhand wheels for the Focus, intending to get some winter tyres put on the rims, one had an unworn Ling Long which I put on the ns front as a temporary. In the warmer weather there was no problem with grip at all, superior to the Nexen which it replaced. But now the weather has got cold, that corner is like it is on ball bearings, spinning all over the place including when already moving !! A set of those should come with an insurance claim form. I don't tend to do much late braking, so locking up has not been a problem, but in an emergency I expect it would be one slidey thing.
