how can people say that its the tyres that make a car handle better ?
in my oppinion its down to the driver !!!
assuming all other things are equal (Car, Driver etc), then the tyre choice can make a massive difference. road or track.
Exactly right, i mean just look at the difference between the lotus elise, and the newer exige. There isnt a huge difference between the cars, but the tyres are different and the exige has 10 times more grip than the elise (as shown on top gear once, where they made up a round about, started each car opposite, and the exige lapped the elise after about 6 laps of the roundabout.
