Like that a lot.

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.

In a word, no. Save your money fella.

Love these. Very nice mate, very jealous.

Some of the worst wealding I've ever seen

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.

Cold enough for what though fella? Tyres aren't going to help much for black ice.

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...

Just couldn't bring myself to spend money on tyres that I'd use for the sake of a few days.

If you do a fair few track days I'd go with CL's or DS3000's personally, with some decent fluid.

On a car out of warranty i'd always use a specialist.

Like that it looks like an M3 and you haven't put an M badge on it!

Probably all i'd pay for a vxr ;)

They give a firmer peddle as you don't get the expanding that you'll get with rubber hoses. If you drive 'spirited' you'll notice the difference IMO.

May be up for this.

Mega track cars. This the turbo? Fell in love with the gearbox when I drove one at brands.

Yep. Tarmac rally tyre that. They use them on a generic rally school in the uk which will remain nameless. They last pretty well, not sure what they are like on track though. And yes they are cheap although not sure they are still made.

Stone chips i'd imagine.

Yeah fair point bud.

Couple of my old mans mates work there as well. Chris Goodwin amongst others?

That's why I said Ds3000's and not 2.5's :) the DS2500's aren't up to sole track work either, they're more of a fast road odd track day pad.

I said many Tony. Which is true from what i've seen (maybe I should have made that clearer sorry mate). Theres a few one make championships that use them like Ma5da but that's bound to be price related as well. I've seen yellows come off the backing plate, they also seem to be pretty hard on...

For track work, Either DS3000's or Carbone Lorrains IMO. I have used EBC in the past on a number of cars. You won't find many people who compete use them for a good reason, they're poo. But they are cheap which will probably be why people buy them.

Not keen on those wheels. Silver is the only one that doesn't look shite IMO

I've never used winter tyres. I've also never got stuck either & I work - live in the sticks. Saying that if the snows that bad the tyres aren't going to help that much anyway & I'm sure as hell not going to spend money on tyres to get to work lol. Not a chance. It's only a couple of days...

Agree'd. Really not keen on the new one at all. Shame as most the other stuff merc are knocking out these days looks mega.

Red are a million times better than green. Still personally wouldn't use anything ebc do on the cars side though.

There's your problem. green stuff are sh*te! Buy some proper pads mate. Putting different discs on isn't going to help when you've got bourbon biscuits for brake pads.

They sound a fair bit more grunty.
