My last car used to break traction up to 100km when I came on boost. 225/45/16 they were, 175/65/14 retreads gripped better

Haven't pushed them hard yet but very happy so far. They steer more precisely than the Dunlop's. With the wet season coming up, I'll know soon what they're like with some rain about. The tyre dealer did recommend them for wet weather grip.Interesting that the Michelin agent said Mich Preceda's let go in the wet and said BF Goodrich are much better

Gee. never heard of that Either way, I went for the Goodyears instead and glad I paid a couple of bucks more for peace of mind. Hate that skating off the road feeling when it rains!!

Brilliant tyres in the wet. Not too bad on road noise either. Cost me $240 each (New Zealand $) which included fitting, balancing and a full wheel alignment (all 4 wheels).cheers, Dean
