Could someone please change the title to...

 "How I became mentally ill obsessing over why my car is a gnats minge slower than the random imaginary time printed in the brochure in 41 pages, or less."

Also, and I can't believe I'm asking this, but what were the OE brand / style of tyres that you'd have got with your brand new box fresh omega?

I'll tell you in a mo, but believe it were either Continental or Bridgestone...

Of course if you want genuine results you should fit a set of unused spare wheels... still wearing their 15year old rubber...

That said, the results would be skewed as they're a different size to the ones tested...  :-\

Oh what's a bear to do ;D

The thing to do is to match the tyres they had on the day of testing. . . So get searching for me  ;D

We need to obtain an OOF accelerometer.



I've still got one.

How much you want for it Nick? If you're selling that is  :)


How does £100 sound? Race Technology AP22, which does a load more stuff than measure 0-60 times. You'll be able to entertain us how much G force your car can pull on your favourite roundabout.

No good getting these modern tyres. You'll have to ask for "the tyres they used to fit 15 years ago". Good luck with that.

The last ones? As in what they fitted to the last line of omegas?

Brochure specs are non specific, but poorly photoshopped pics imply Michelin Pilot HX across the board :y

Here's a 16" one... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225-55-16-Michelin-Pilot-HX-/331699846241?hash=item4d3ad9fc61:g:iZIAAOSw14xWOkcD

And a 17" one... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235-45-17-H-Michelin-Pilot-HX-x1-Single-Tyre-Free-Delivery-Fitting-/181921340784?hash=item2a5b5b5d70:g:LKYAAOSw~gRV6CjI

I bought my Elite when it was only a few months old and it definitely had Michelin Pilot Sports on if that helps.  :y
