Default Good tyres!

Im so pleased with my new tyres, (i can feel a real whipping from the potenza boys)Not that im that botherd as most drive the slow colours!!


NEXEN 3000 , 245/45/16 FANTASIC

Ok, my rear end in the dry just will not let go (not happy about that) but for some who have concer they real feel good.

In the wet the same as f1 tyres through standing water, keeps contact very well.

Presumably cheaper tyres won't last anywhere near as long as more expensive brands?

Always noticed this when buying $hitfit own brand for my Polo several years back. I must have got about a a third more wear out of the OEM Michelins - compensated for the higher price.
