one final note which I believe is essential to point out..

any omega owner who has  lowered car or using larger tyre sizes like 18 or wider wheels than the standard or different bushes
and claiming a tyre to be bad is experiencing a completely different car setup.. as anyone can guess omega's original setup cant
handle higher friction powers than its original design.. thats the cause of your tramlining issue.. as I noted on a seperate thread..

And I will close my ears to all future ifs and buts if you are interested please find the relevant thread and read..

good night all

Wrong.

physics is an area which doesnt listen your visual demands Chris it has its own rules..

...now, these tyres of yours? What was your experience of them? Any findings? Criticisms?

Have there been any? At all?

[cem_devecioglu]

By the way Al you didnt tell us the test order for your Enduro!

Argh Because I never read a tyre test for it...
I found a tyre within my budget that out performed the alternatives. Ergo I continued to buy it and gladly recommended it to you lot. Simples.

how did you know that ?

Eagle f1 I know of. Good choice you recommended.

Bridgestone potenza. Iirc you said they had amazing grip. I can assure you they haven't. Rock hard and noisy. Bad recommendation there. But it did well in tests, do that's all ok then.

I think the clique has had too much influence tbh.

Oh sigh...

[cem_devecioglu]

the potenza I recomended was used by Aston Martin and very well rated in addition to tests..

and every passenger in the car was sticked to windows during curves(when I'm driving) .. no need to say further..

Yes that just about says it all really. Your right there.


Any others? I make that two?

Ok good, so cem has experience on two different makes of tyre on the omega.

Potenza and eagle f1.



...but of course, you know what that means, don't you?

how did you know that ? 

Because, unlike the Auto(no)grip that were stocked by my local tyre place, and the same price, the Enduros transformed the way the car responded instantly, and as I have shouted loudly from the roof tops, both standard 225/55/16 and 235/45/17 perform come rain, snow and sunshine.

How do I know they worked?

That's easy. Higher average speeds over various sections of road when pressing on, with no unexpected 'clenching'. And FYI, my car had stock suspension and wheels until  January this year. Actually, the 18" Irmscher wheels are factory approved, with factory size tyres fitted.

Actually Cem, of those two tyres you suggest on the Omega, how many of them are an official Omega size?

Didn't think so

Oh and btw, I re fitted mo sc3 on a deal at Costco. To replace the smaller tram lining ao1 sc3.

No more tram lining. Non. At all. Biggest tyres size I ever fitted to the omega, as part of the irmscher factory fit sport pack ( or whatever the hell its called)  and it drives straighter than it ever has.

I love my omega again.

[chrisgixer]

Come on, its getting late.

[05omegav6]

Come on, its getting late.

And your in box is still full

Guessing from the silence that Cems wheels are only 225/40/18s not known for being an Omega size iirc...

[chrisgixer]

You know, its funny you should mention that. The potenza I had on my omega from the previous owner, will not physically fit on the front axle. As they rub on the strut. So they have to go on the rear.

I wonder, can you tell if they do a potenza in an oe size? Because my previous owner clearly couldn't find one.
