asahartz (asahartz ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
Wouldn't the back have been a more useful location for them...?
It does.

Er oh yes, they were on the back! Told you it was a long time ago! Something strange in my head said fwd, which of course it wasn't.
When you get to my age, the memory plays tricks!
Great, a teflon non-grip with a winter tread. Bet that's good. Or maybe not.
You know that bloke Lewis Hamilton? he won his last title using Kumho tyres.
My Woosung Dark Horse tyres were great in the winter. They never surprised me by suddenly failing to grip.
Even in the middle of summer, you could count on them to always fail to grip. So no surprises...

Oh look, they're paying people to use their tyres..... just like Colway do, and the general opinion (not mine) is that Colways are s**te.
Would that be the Colways that have a maximum speed rating of V? even Linglong can get a Z rating.
Fred >> > not.
Of course everyone with cars that can do 190mph use Linglong tyres....
It's not a very good point on which to argue.
The speed rating has very little to do with the amount of grip offered by a tyre.
F*ck Grip! if your tyre fly's apart like colway's do then wheel rims all have the same grip dopey.
Fred
Ahhh, but they're probably Z rated, which, in Fredland means they're the bestest tyre in the whole world, ever.
Now you are talking about something you have experience of, never mind the lights will be turned off soon.
