They came on a 2nd hand set of wheels I bought so I could get my wheels refurbed.  They are shit.  Not even Sir Tig would drive on them, and he's the king of "black and round and MOTable"...

It's quite a lot. :)
Soot checkers have bucket loads of torque, but no BHP due to a sub 5k rpm limit...

Never a truer word....  ;D

I just had to nip out and check what's on the front of the V70 as I had a sneaky suspicion that I have Landsails.  ::)

Close. It has Sailun Atrezzo's costing about sixty notes each and I've not ended up in the hedge yet!  :P  :)

I have Jinyus on the Boxster.  ;D
It came with them and they have loads of tread, so they are staying on there for a while.
To be fair, its great in the dry, but much care is needed on wet / damp / greasy roads.

The Volvo has a selection of budgets on it  ::)

Will be putting something more appropriate on at least the front wheels in the near future.  :y

Nothing like a bit of excitement in your day!

I remember when I first had my auto Desmond estate. That had some (very) budget tyres on the back, brand new. Wanki maybe, or Landsnail. Sideways around every roundabout anytime there was a sniff of rain. Got a bit tiresome on the morning commute though, forever arriving at work with my coffee in the passenger side footwell.  ;D

Is there a reason(s) why a derv lump can't be made to rev like a proper engine? ::)

Anything to do with the higher compression ratio of diesel?

Some boffin on here will know. :y

Two major reasons, diesel burn slow and Diesel engines have long strokes.

Nothing wrong with having a long stroke.
