Our old neighbour text me earlier.

He fitted new winter tyres to the rear of his wife's Lexus is300. She is an excellent driver. Safe, precise, can catch a slide, doesn't speed, track days on bikes and cars in fast groups etc.

She rang him today to demand they be removed, temp at 12 c according to her cars dash display.

Nearly spun the car.

They've been on 3 weeks

Best tyres go on the rear cem. So she is correct. Summer tyres all round at 13c. As a winter tyre expert in uk weather, I thought you of all people should know that.

I'd expect under steer below a cirtain temp/temps reversed. But no. She was quite happy in Snow, with primacy on the front.

They are now concerned how the tires will store, given the out of range heat cycles.


The fact they are on rear axle only is an easy get out though.

Thats the second story I have heard of rear tyres only being winter and spinning out. Were they Chinese clones?

Must suggest that getting a full good quality set is the right thing to do.

Tunnie seems to have had a reasonable experience on the winter tyres in real winter weather.

So she would have spun at much lower speed if winters all round? That's comforting?

Didn't get the model of the winters, but they are Michelin.
