Gone for the Toyo this time round.

Tyres are only rated to 120MPH though so I'll have to take it steady on the autobahn :p :lol:

Getting them fitted first week in December - will see what they are like.

Oh and my front pots ony have 3.5mm left :oops: :oops:

These will be sitting in the garage in case of emergency in the future.

Not sure mate - but it's a legal requirment to have winter tyres in Germany as of January.

It wheel spins in fourth now mate in the dry :shock:
 
Fitted today.

Without ragging the car I have to say that I have "no" feel left.

Will let them bed down and also not have about 100KG's of stuff in the car before I make my mind up though!
 
they are a soft comp tyre so u will loose that hard tyre/sidewall feelin.

try a few fast pull aways loads more grip :wink:

what pressures u using too?

They are 2.4 BAR all round - as reccomended for winter tyres by my fitter.

The Fulda's I had on last year felt better - but like I say I'll let them bed in and now all that stuff is out of my car I'll be able to have a fairer view.
 
2.4 bar = 35psi what!!!

i would run that psi/bar in the summer not in the winter!

get them down to 32psi (2.2bar) front,

30psi (2.1bar) rear then feel the grip.

Might do this. Like I said it's what the fitter reccomended.
 
I'm guessing they aren't T1R's then Chris?

I think people are thinking that they are, so i would go on the fitters guidelines mate as winter tyres are different to normal road tyres.
 
As i thought mate, people were advising if they were T1R's i think so i would go with what you're told by the fitter.
