Umster Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Was watching this earlier - seems like the competition is heating up. Also got watching the all season tyre comparison from last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Can't take that test seriously. He didn't once mention looks, let alone prioritse it. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) Great to see the progression being made. Thought this staggered test suited our application, rather than a hot hatch test. For a manufacturer, seems a no brainer to fit the best UHP tyre available at the time. The Nankang in the wet was a decent showing too. Edited February 24, 2022 by davey_83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Interesting watch. Personally I would be buying the level down for fast road and all round. Very happy with my PS4 I got yesterday. Shame they still don't understand how to visualise data or how to use bar charts properly 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Will be interesting to see if they do the new PS5's in the next review, they are supposed to be even better than than the PS4S 🍿 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umster Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Gonna hijack this thread as I continue down the rabbit hole Does anyone here run all season tyres? Does anyone even swap over to winter tyres when the temps drop? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do .... but then again I live in Canada where Winter Tyres are actually mandatory between October and April for some roads. Even where we live in the valley this winter we had a good month with snow/Ice on the roads. For our truck we have winter tyres and all season tyres for summer, I am planning on getting all season on my Mustang for next winter (its got summer tyres only at the minute) ..... not that I am planning to drive it much in the crappy wether 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I do and yes I know I live in the south where it isn't as cold as it is further north but it makes so much difference when pushing your car. It does also provide that extra level of safety in cold and wet conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without question the biggest difference feel wise to a car like the Z33 or Z34 would be to go from mixed budget tyres to a set of UHP from Continental, Michelin or Goodyear. You should see the GTR club at Japfest, 95% fitted with MPS4's or 4S other than that the OE Bridgestone, track day semi slicks or Eagle F1 Supersports. By far the most popular tyre on our club stand was again Michelin, so there's more of us than you think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) Everyone remembers their first set of aftermarket wheels. Possibly another tread but mine were the TSW Catalunya 17' with Marangoni Zeta tyres - I thought I had arrived 😄 Edited April 12, 2022 by davey_83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 Ahhh yes, timeless upgrade right there. I remember clearly getting a set of Peugeot 306 GTi-6 wheels (£10 each) for my 309 1.3l Talbot engine Style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I'm running the PS5 on the MX5 for mixed road and track use, enjoying it so far and there's no shortage of grip on the road, it does get a bit cooked on track after 15 mins or so. Which got me wondering is there something out there that's better (in a 17 inch size) for the track but without going full semi slick and having to change wheels at track or stay indoors when it's raining?
