What are your first impressions of the the Goodyears Mr Entwood?  :)
You've discounted sc5 hopefully?
They are not that bad, at 28.5psi, on a decent chassis.
so which 28.5 psi are we talking about? ?...the real 28psi or the 28psi on your pressure gauge... Or the other pressure gauge? ::)
On mine. Nothing else matters.
...until somebody else wants to know the ACTUAL tyre pressure. :)
People have to find their own to match their tyre sizes and suspension setups.

I would've recommended Uniroyal Rainsport 2's, they're a quality tyre, very well priced, and have a nice looking tread pattern too  :y.

What are your first impressions of the the Goodyears Mr Entwood?  :)

Only done 40 odd miles on them as the car was awaiting re-MOT and I'm one of those who believes that a failed MOT cancels out the old MOT even if it has days left... simply put .. a failed MOT TELLS you your car is unroadworthy, and it is illegal to drive an unroadworthy car .... :( so it sat doing not-a-lot after the rectification on Saturday until the booked retest yesterday.

So far ... I think they are exceedingly quiet, which is good. No tramlining, but not been on a motorway at speed yet. In the wet today I have been very circumspect as I don't trust all the mould release to be worn away for at least 100 miles, and that makes tyres very slippery in the wet.

I'll have a better idea after a couple of weeks as I'll have done sufficient miles to put a little "sparkle" into the driving, and I'll have towed as well ..  I'll certainly let the forum know my views then :)



ENtwood how are your tyres going?

my motor has started to tramline badly and feels like she has no grip even though there is still tread. i really need to look at replacing the tyres i am doing some serious miles these days 2000 a month. whats the road noise like to?

I beg to differ. Mine are fine, wet or dry, if a little noisy. Another pair will be going on the back shortly. :y

Been gone a good two and a half hours....

Possibly getting a set fitted ;D but more likely 'No' is the silent answer :-\

You don't... They aren't suitable for your expectations of a tyre ;)

They're very good for a budget tyre but they are a budget tyre :y As I've said elsewhere, they suit Elite suspension and mine's not perfectly set up but I can't see them coping as well with a stiffer setup :-\

Agreed. Nfg for TB.
Not enough grip for someone used to TT.

Plenty good enough as budget/mid range tyre IMO. Can't fault them for the money. :)

Who said it was for me ;)

Although, with the demise of Sport Maxx TT, I'm open minded, as I'm struggling to find a suitable successor.  I can tolerate sub TT grip (within reason) if 1) they are consistent/predictable, 2) they are stable

Surely they can't be worse than SC5s? (purely from a grip perspective - everything beats SC5s from a stability and predictability point of view)
