now thinking, it could be better for them to print their brake power g values (for wet and dry) , lateral g values (dry and wet), rolling resistence factor, sidewall softness factor  and silica percentage directly.. erm, may be I want too much

  I think you'd miss the point of their 'lowest common denominator' (i.e. stupid people) labelling, too (FWIW, though I think it says it on the article - all our electrical goods are labelled the same way here, are they in Turkey, too?).

I do think it's a decent idea for 'regular people' .. but driving gods such as ourselves would be better served by the statistics you list

Perhaps they should offer tyres based on your IQ.  You go into the tyre shop, have to sit an IQ test, and are offered tyre types depending on the results. E.g. if thick you get offered Wanlli ditch finders, if  bright you get the choice of quality stuff.

Maybe a government funded road safety initiative. You take the tyre fitter for a quick spin round the block and, if you manage to convince him that you are "challenging" run of the mill tyres, you get subsidised sticky rubber to keep you safe on the roads.

I don't know, perhaps Yokohama A032Rs in the summer and 21Rs in the winter. Yeah, that would do. Changed monthly, of course. Actually, better make that twice a month. 

.. and I'm awake again.
