Interesting tyre in snow discovery
« on: 11 March 2013, 21:24:33 »

Goodyear Efficienctgrip 205/55/16 - 0

Runway Enduro 235/45/17 - 1

I know that the Goodyears are the wrong size, fitted on car when I bought it last week ::)

Spun the car at end of the road, so turned it back around again, went home and put my 17"s back on.

Surprise, surprise I got to work with no problem  8)

40th rated tyre in some irrelevant test they might be, but here in the real world...

I think the disaster with sc5 's prove the point, that what wins a tyre test, will not always work here, on the cars we use. Our experiences are clearly very different.

But what use are tests on the wrong car though...? Manufacturers have tyre makers produce tyres specific to their car, or at least find ones that work best on their car. This proves the right car is highly relevant.

I drive that car last year, can't remember the temp exactly, but above 10 c I'm almost certain.
