My Dunslops lasted 2,000km before I put on some Smokahamas v103's on it.

I was merging onto a freeway at WOT with slightly wet road when the car decided to break traction at 100km/h.

This was not acceptable for a performance tyre. I have had no issues with the v103's breaking traction unexpectly

I found the 103,s to be one of the better ones, aswell. perelli are on par. michi,s I found to be very average. pilots sports, they are a death trap when cold. just imo

When I test drove one I noticed it was very noisy compared to my GTP

so I think it might be normal.As I haven't got mine yet I am not 100% sure.

Thems fightin' words mate. You insult me! Maybe we need to organize an arm wrestle.

When I beat you, you can just give me the car and maybe your woman ( if she cleans fish and can cook and puts out and looks OK) :tonguepoke:

Cheers,
