it's actually AMAZING just how much more traction you get on ice with good winter tires
Ive got a set of Dunlop winter tyres that came on my car. I didnt know this, I just bought the car from a garage & drove it. Its a skyline GTR, so pretty fast. Id drove about 10miles in June time, to drop my lads off. Coming home I was pulling about 110mph which is pretty much cruising in her. When the back tyre popped!!! The car was ok, she handled like a dream. I pulled over & called my garage out. Its a 60 to 70 mph limit on those tyres!!

I may end up putting them on in the colder months of this year as I kept the other 3 at the back of my garden behind the summer house.

However, I didnt realise the sort of prices they were! Yikes!


BLACKCRAYON, Excellant make! toyo are pretty A1 tires!
