Tire/Tyre Favorites/Favourites & Why

Yeah, I don't know either - posted a webpage or something maybe? Hey "ngu", turn off mime encoding and HTML and maybe we can see what you're saying.

I'm on Pirelli P6000 195/65 R15, too.  Good grip even when they've been in use for 3 years or more. But the same can't be said of their cheaper P4000.  Grip deteriorated substantially after 3 years. Heard bad comments on Pirelli from Japanese car owners though.  The tyre shop said this is because Jap cars are too "light" for Pirelli.

Still unreadable, mate...

Don't know what's wrong with my Netscape newsreader. Repost using the Google web-based newsreader as follow:

Looks like it's posting in HTML, and with MIME encoding. Should be under "preferences", "mail and news preferences", if you turn off something saying something like "Use HTML for news postings" that should do it.

I don't think I can buy that - when you inflate a tire, it's to a certain PSI, right? So, if you're at, say, 30 PSI on a heavy car, vs. 30 PSI on a light car, the tire is still seeing 30 PSI no matter what. Also I'm not sure if one can make a blanket statement that Japanese cars are statistically lighter than any other type of cars - plenty of USA'n econoboxes that are probably lighter.

Then again, those drivers probably aren't buying Pirelli tires...

I drive on Nokian tires year-round, snows in the winter & NRZ's in the summer.

Dave, can you read this now?

Yup, was it an HTML thing in preferences?
