Re: 2018 Evo tyre test
I was a bit disappointed by this:
Why not test it objectively?A final note: you can get a 235/35 R19 91Y Extra Load for just £50, which is half the price of our least expensive contender, but be aware that these budget tyres do little more than keep the alloys of customised VW Transporter vans off the asphalt…

Have the Goodyears on the Audi. Pretty good I think.

Timely as I’m going to need 4 in this size in the next few miles.
Left over crest; tightens.

It's what I had fitted to the 135 a few months ago, I can confirm they are awesome bands of rubber.
Your opinion is very important for me. Thank you please.

It’s impressively bad. I tweeted them about it before. It’s so bad that I now won’t read anything on it due to the pop ups and adverts taking up 3 quarters of the screen. Not a professional site.

Yes, why not try a few and prove how bad they are rather than the sloppy daily mail journalism.NotoriousREV wrote: ↑Sat Sep 01, 2018 12:56 pm I was a bit disappointed by this:

Re: 2018 Evo tyre test
To be fair - they have done that in previous years non? With no surprises.

Looking at a new car for wifey, the Ditchfinders are not limited to private sales either, some main dealers with cars running total crap

And yet there are hundreds of thousands of cars on the road happily running around on ditchfinders managing to not throw themselves into the scenery at every opportunity.

Re: 2018 Evo tyre test
Of course.
Ditchfinders are fine if you never use anywhere near the capability of your tyres.

Re: 2018 Evo tyre test
There was a post going round on our local Facebook pages, some lad had his E46 M3 stolen that was apparently his pride and joy (as you'd expect). One of the identifying features of his car was that he'd just fitted brand new Nankang tyres. Deserved to have it taken off him for that.

I bet you it was also an early M3 running the later (and inferior looking IMO) 19inch wheels with consequently more expensive tyresNotoriousREV wrote: ↑Mon Sep 03, 2018 12:01 pm There was a post going round on our local Facebook pages, some lad had his E46 M3 stolen that was apparently his pride and joy (as you'd expect).

Re: 2018 Evo tyre test
Imagine buying second-hand tyres. Well, you do so whenever you buy a used car. Just having a Michelin logo doesn’t mean they haven’t been run low on pressure, kerbed etc.
Re: 2018 Evo tyre test
I personally have all 4 tyres sent back to the manufacturer for a full suite of non destructive testing, especially if they are under 3mm!
I will be replacing the 996's tyres with Michelin PS2's, - 295/30/18 rears btw, I fully intend visiting the factory and personally supervising the raw materials, the full process and the final QA inspections, doesn't everyone?
