Medium Saloon Tyres

That's precisely what I was thinking when the front wheels started ticking into ABS under moderate braking... but then you didn't stop to consider this, did you?

Ahhha, school's out and you're at home playing with Mummy's computer.

Since you have displayed absolutely no knowledge and more importantly as far as I'm concerned, no help either, I can expect another flame back - perhaps you were dunked in diesel as a younger kid?

God, yes. Then we'd have real talent driving the cars.

Heh, you're one of those who sits there thinking "I could so do better than that" aren't you :-)

No - I know I couldn't (for a start, I weigh 175lbs) - but I would much rather see less technology, possibly even less speed, but more actual driving.

It happens as a result of friction, which happens as a result of the tyres making contact with the road :-D

I bought a car which had them on the front. They were just about acceptable, in the dry. Not worth the small saving over Goodyear NCTs. Replaced with Premium Contacts when winter arrived.

A chum reckons the P6000 is a good benchmark for the industry - maybe they're that bad? :o)

How wrong can you be?

It's a blend, wheel-nuts-for-brains. No point in a racing car feeling all over the shop if it gets good lap times, that's not good news for consistency.

Which? Online, for a start. Although since you need a debit card to sign up for the free trial you probably won't get that far.

Could you explain the relevance of that for the benefit of the group?

Ya. Only briefly, mind, and there are no tyres on the roof.

Steve's car featured in Which? Online? Blimey.

Why would I not have a debit card?

The old "I was only trolling". Classic.

IMO it's impossible to say which tyre is best unless one knows the particular model of car they're going on. There's no such thing as one make or type of tyre that is suitable for all. A good tyre on one car, could merely be acceptable on a different car. Any premium tyre will probably perform well on any car, but out of those, there'll no doubt be certain make and type tyres that perform better on a specific car than the others. Mike.

Just out of interest... how much?

For tyres? I can't remember what size they are now :)
