The Fun PG Is the fact you can really open your taps and push the car to the highest speed possible I Got 107 MPH in my Fiat Punto Which aient half bad and great fun mincing a Porche
That must've taken some determination and nerve. I don't fancy your chance of stopping it at 107mph.
We've all done some 'radical' things in our lives. All I'm saying is this - please, please, don't become a statistic. Too many quality young lives are lost on the road. At elevated speeds situations can change very very quickly.
I remember once using dubious tyres on my 2.0 Primera about 14 years ago. The rear end let go spectacularly at only 60 ish on a slightly damp bend - B4011 between Oakley and Bicester to be precise.
It's frightening how quick 60 feels when you're no longer in total command of the direction you're travelling. Thankfully nothing came of it, I managed to recover the situation (thankfully the road was empty) but those tyres were disposed of the next day (only 3 weeks old) and I fitted a set of proper Goodyear NCT3s all round.
The tyres that caused the problem were a full set of Goodyear NCT3s from Just Tyres in Aylesbury. According to the sidewall markings these were made in New Zealand.
I consulted Goodyear UK. They confirmed that New Zealand made NCT3s were never designed for the North European climate; the compound is designed for Pacific Rim countries where shade temperatures are more like 40 degrees celcius. Goodyear Uk advised me to remove them immediately. I did so. Goodyear UK also had nothing at all to do with the import of Goodyear NZ tyres.
So - be watchful of cheap deals on branded tyres, even from supposedly respectable establishments. And especially Just Tyres in Aylesbury it appears.
This is not slander, nor is it libel. It's fact. So if Just Tyres wishes to challenge me I'm quite happy to rise to that challenge.
