Wet grip traction was appalling. Also these things which have a dull name but have writing on the tread which I’ve not seen before.

Kelly Springfield (to give her her full name) is now going out with Goodyear. They're an American company, taken over by Goodyear in 1999. They are responsible for the massive pile of burning tyres seen in the US fly on the wall documentary 'The Simpsons'.

That means it's now wearing a set of Blacklions...new one on me and they were super cheap, I was a bit put out at first but actually apart from being a bit noisy, they're actually pretty good, plenty of grip at least and they seem to get OK reviews online. We'll see how they manage longer term, I guess. It's not like I'll be taking it to track days, after all. Having done a few miles in them now, I can confirm that in the dry, they are adequate. In the wet, they are terrible. Do not recommend. Should have gone with the Yokohamas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petlas were founded to overcome the trade embargo after Turkey's invasion of Cyprus in 1974. The armed forces of Turkey were hit hard by the embargo and Petlas' first products were aeroplane tyres for the air force. There is an historic precedence of Turkey and Germany working together. face and junkyarddog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike us, who can put a happygallop, ginyu, stargazer and 1 original Dunlop ditch finder on each corner. Kinda makes sense that each part of the car has the same amount of grip. timolloyd, CortinaDave and bunglebus 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
