Title: And I thought they were poor in the dry
Post by: TheBoy on 14 November 2007, 18:38:58
Avon ZZ3s.

Never been impressed with the tyres on back of tractor, even in the dry they can be 'unpredictable'...

If the wet, oh boy, they are 'interesting'   >:(

Good point, well presented.  But the MV6 is not exactly lacking, and the rear of that is shit to a blanket (ignoring the suspect shocks ::))...

Behave!

Probably just as well, as BMW's normal implementation of TC around this era made Rover's TC (ie, just an LSD) look advanced!
