My 200 has always done it. I just put it down to no load really being on the engine, I.E. less heat being created.
Infact IIRC all the cars I'v owned have lol.
Depends, because the more performance orientated you go the less bite from cold you tend to get.
DS2500's are a good fast road pad, DS3000's are mega on track as are CL's Rc5's & 6's.
To be honest, it sounds to me like you're either too aggressive under braking or not braking in a straight line perhaps. Or theres something not right with the car..
Not calling you a sh*t driver, but I've not had much of a problem with the ABS on these clio's before under hard braking.
Whoever put those wheels on that car previously needs putting down. You've improved it x100000000
Bay looks like it could do with a degrease & tidy up.
Equally two years ago (in the bad snow we had) my sisters other half drove his 172 cup back from Banbury to kent (non motorway) with ditch finders with no worries at all.
But you're comparing tyres on completely different ends of the scale. Comparing them to the standard fitment tyres I.E. Pilots or Sport contacts is more comparable IMO & more relevent for 'most' people.
I really don't think they're worth it mate. I'm sure someone people will go on about how much better they are, but it in escence means your paying at least £400? for another set of tyres, when I can't say I've ever noticed my current Conti's being unsafe in the winter.
And lets face it, if it...
