Agreed, Paul. However, another downside of low profile tyres (mine are 19": 225/35 fronts, 265/30 rears) is that you cannot put winter tyres on the rims, so it would require a separate high profile set of wheels. Some high performance cars would probably not accept smaller diameter rims because they may foul the brake calipers or discs. |

There's that, too. My choice, and luckily this country rarely produces weather that really challenges.

The Jag came with 16" rims, bought some 17's on ebay for a good price. Will put winter tyres on the 16's, and come spring fit some performance tyres to the 17's. I've a feeling we are in for a harsh winter.

Thanks to all who contributed to this thread. 
In the end I went for Pirelli P7 Blue, an eco tyre. A rated for wet grip so should not suffer the same problems as Ali found.

I guess it could be characterised as advice of limited use!

Cagey did you constantly have your hand up in class shouting miss I know. I know.
I would bet my house on pre not needing your explanation.

If you want to continue to have a poke at members and ex-members of HFS about arguments you had there, then please do it on HFS.

Continue ? my post to cagey had nothing to do with "debates elsewhere" it was [ as they all are ] self contained within the forum , indeed , it is probably an accusation best leveled at your intervention . I had a joke with pre , he took it in good faith . End of . Cageys post was mischievous , irrelevant and inane . My riposte was reasonable and proportionate . Humour gents , its in the dictionary . |

I was mainly referring to your comment to pre - it almost entirely refers to an argument you were having with him on HFS before he was banned. You can call it a joke and think yourself lucky because he seemed to take it well, but I believe your intent was to create mischief and you succeeded.

So despite his denial he was "bunsen burner" Well well well I was of course guessing . The humour was in the ambiguity , which you seem to have negated . Given that ambiguity , which pre chose to maintain , he really had to take it in good faith.
Anyway , burning tryes is illegal , so it was also sound advise .

I don't know for sure if he's the same person or not, why should I care? You did though, and that's why you had a poke at him.

Hi Noddy.
Its coming up to that time of year again - So I would recommend fitting a set of Winter tyres.
Of great benefit should we have snow, but equally good in the wet.
Well I never - Bunsen Burner unmasked.  |

Here we go with the wet weather. The spray on the M3 this morning was horrible. The real test of tyres commences, chaps!
