Who said you were just a pretty face? Smart, pretty lady, that's what you are!
Your post jogged my memory. I was going to change the Bridgestone S001 tyres on my 6GTI to something different, but remember checking out the alternatives which had pathetic rim protection in comparison. So I suffered with the S001 tyres which tramped, spun and roared.
Damn it, where rubber is concerned, winning is so elastic!
Asker, I agree. Tyres, and their relative merits are
sooo elastic, and in terms of choosing the right one, it's a veritable minefield, there are so many slightly differing versions even of the same tyre!!! Just think how many people out there haven't got a clue what rubber they've got (on their cars
), but I don't suppose they give it a second thought. It is for us car
enthusiasts nerds to ramble on and on about. And, oh how we love to!
So, the Michelin PSS - rim protection? Illuminate me? With, without, good, bad, non-existent?? I made bookmark links to various relevant tyre sites but God knows which iPad car sub folder I've saved them in?? Think I need to indulge in a spot of virtual housekeeping
PS: you are very kind to give me the benefit of the doubt of NOT being a wizened old hag
