erm, cos you dont need to be RAGGING it to need good tyres,  :huh:


when driving at normal road speeds, its impossible to tell the difference between brand A and brand B of tyres.

until you need to emergency stop. or misjudge a roundabout or something on a road youve not driven before  :rolleyes:

5th gear done a test breaking from 70 using budget tyres, sh!tty part worns and top continentals. the difference between the 3 types emergency stopping with no abs was only a matter of feet.

But on certain roads, ones with cliffs at the edge for example, a couple of feet is the difference between a bruised ego and certain death, doom and destruction!

where do you live?

the difference between a few feet is negligable because you'll have already lost the majority of the speed by that point.

you share my passion, let's start a club together. i want to castrate people who spell brakes like breaks. tires and tyres always annoyed me too, although both are acceptable, perhaps i'm too pedantic.
