Mick...this is a tyre by stealth thread :b .......i did tell Nick and VNA that it would happen for their sins
Good comments so far i see. Noise to me is really irrelevent......i think after owning a Suzuki ignis sport then any car will seem quiet as it was a tin box on wheels. I went to scotland and back in that thing and i think it was noisier than taking the FZ1. plus i only do 10k a year.......plus my last car it wouldnt have mattered how noisy the tyres were because the diesel 3 cylinder engine was so foccin noisy :lol
But what about the emperors new clothes syndrome and what about looking at food shopping..........so most folk now agree that ALDI can produce some top quality goods that taste as good or better than the other supermarkets high priced stuff.........cheap wines that are winning blind tests........they just have unheard of names on them.....so why is it impossible to think that the same could not be said of tyres?
If a cheap tyre has the same speed rating & wet performance stats then surely it makes sense to buy it instead?
One thing i will say is this.......if the cheap tyres were really so good then why do the big manufacturers not put them on cars as standard?......but maybe there are other more sinister reasons for that.
does anyone know why dry weather performance is not included on the stats?
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
