My 3.2 MV6 had a set of Event WL905 17's fitted by the one and only wheels-in-motion. Lasted 15k easily, just over 50 notes a corner. Handling and ride was great, as long as you didn't drive like a kn0b in the wet

To be honest, after around 6/8k, I was very aware and careful in the wet. So they wouldn't suit an "entuisiastic" driving style

But for normal driving (including braking) they were fine..

It was just cornering in the wet, at more than 50% life, that let them down...

If you're just going up and down the motorway, and not really taking fast bends etc, they're fine.

For the twisties, in the wet, forget it....

And needing to swerve quickly in the wet?

This is why I think most budget tyres should be banned. Yes, you may cruise at 60mph down the motorway, presumably in the middle lane (), but emergency situations may still need grip from your tyres.


You may never go about 70mph, but you wouldn't fit N rated tyres, or remoulds, unless you didn't have all your dogs on one lead.

yep.. you may drive according to your tyres.. but a critical surface change can hunt you at any unexpected moment..
 
tonight trusting my snow tyres I turned a sharp corner at usual speed (under snow) ,   the tyres were worse than I expected

The facelift alloys I bought & fitted to my car had a pair of Events on them &I ran the car on them for a couple of weeks till I fitted four new tyres. Though they had legal thread, they were absolutely crap!!

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

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

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.

Yeah, I will most probably get the Eagle F1s based on noise levels and everyone raving about them. Just don't want to part with £500 notes
