....Fecking Hell!!!! 
- Five Star Anger!!!!
RedRobin is now "RoastinRobin"
As said on the link : - "Lets see what happens to grip levels with the new breed of ultra hard tyres. It's great to know you'll be saving 3% of your fuel as you're sliding into a ditch..."
Actually,
some of the current "energy" types of tyres arn't too bad. The current Michelin Energy and the Conti EcoContact are both good tyres - but only for cars which are suitable for their fitment, and drivers who want to use them.
But what are they gonna do for hot hatches, sports cars, etc. It's a typical narrow-minded, blinkered approach from them tw@ts!
Stoooopid!! And will Jo Public maintain inflation of their tyres to correct pressures? - I ain't holdin my breath!
Couldn't agree more. The amount of cars I see, which have clearly uniflated tyres, really does anger me. If I can see them, so can the "boys in blue", but how many times do people get nicked for underinflated tyres!
On the very subject of tyres, my RS4 drivers handbook still has the two "sets" of tyre pressures - one for "up to three peeps, with no luggage" (or sommat similar!
), and the other for "fully laden, five peeps, and a bootful of Burberrys finest suitcases". However, the manual now recommends running at the fully laden pressures at ALL times, even if your are on your tod! They cite this on the grounds of lower rolling resistance, for better fuel economy, and basically only advise the lower standard pressures, if you are a namby-pandy, and want a slightly softer ride! I must admit, I've always run my cars at max pressures for quite a few years now, and don't get any adverse wear. In fact, I've found that some of my acquaintances who run on standard pressures tend to wear out the shoulders, particularly on front tyres. Probably all that twizzling the "power assisted" steering whilst stationary. In my day, before PAS, you needed to be Charles Atlas to do that!
