Cheapy tyres
15. May 2008 at 08:33
 
today is the first time i have driven the CDX in the wet.

Now i knew the tyres were budgets, everytime i pull away from a junction you get a squeal out of them, they break traction very easily, but in the wet OMG  Shocked Dab the throttle and the TC light is on, halfway round a roundabout this morning i had the back end out and i was not in Hooligan mode as well
These are near enough brand new tyresbut they act like slicks, they cannot cope with any power being put through them.

i have no doubt they will wear well, but i am not going to take the chance, off to get some dunlops this weekend
