Chris Harris talked about this in an article specifically to do with Ferrari,
but i'm sure most if not all car companies fiddle test drives and media cars to get the desired result for their marketing campaign.

You've obviously never hit a few inches of standing water unsighted at motorway speeds,
if it wasn't for Rainsports i'd be dead by now, they're incredible at dispersing water.
Sh*t at everything else though, I mean they grip well in the dry once scrubbed in,
but they fold over and shred...
Thinking about it this won't affect me,
if I end up in court having to pay some insurance company a huge amount of money,
the CCJ will be for a really small amount each month because I earn next to f*ck all and don't earn any commodities.
Yes i'll be paying it for the rest of my life but the...
Sounds like a judge f*cked up to me, sadly once there's a precedent set in court,
it opens the flood gates for every other insurer to do the same,
citing the previous case as a precedent.
It's easy to get wavers thrown out in a court case, one example of this is pre nuptial agreements in the UK,
loads of women have got payouts/houses etc from ex husbands despite signing pre nups.
Stuff like that doesn't stand up in court.
I was a skateboarder for 15 years and once Tony Hawks skateboarding game came out every little kid wanted to be a skater,
as a result parents were suing skateparks when little Jonny broke his arm or knocked himself out.
So they all started putting up...
Well if this starts happening more often I can see a lot of tracks closing,
f*ck getting taken to the cleaners for a days blasting about,
i'm sure a lot of other people on average wages will feel the same.
Dedicated track cars with no insurance then.
Hard to claim off your insurance when your road legal car is safely parked up
with the trailer you used to bring your track sl*g.
Federal 595's (not RSR's) are good budget/mid range tyres, (£55 each)
not amazing in the wet but good enough if you don't go mad,
grip like f*ck in the dry when they're warm though.
Kumho KH31's and KU31's are a decent cheap tyre too.
Rain Sports just have to soft a sidewall.
I wouldn't even claim if someone hit me on the roads, (unless I was genuinely injured)
all claiming will do is make my premiums so high i'll probably be priced off the roads.
Not read the whole thread because i'm in a lazy mood today.
But when I had Rain Sports they were like driving on ice for the first week or so,
they will grip well once scrubbed in, but on a mild dry day expect them to cover the side of your car in rubber.
They're amazing in the wet, but they...
