[QUOTE="phil d, post: 451245, member: 27126"] When I did a lot of work at one of the farms, they had a fairly new Mitsubishi L200, and everybody was wary of it, so much that they were thinking of getting rid.The slightest bit of damp on the road and it was all over the place, Even I as a specially trained driver had trouble, I was negotiating a roundabout one evening at 30 mph and the back end came out, fortunately I had it under control. I suggested changing the tyres and took it to the place they had an account with,I explained the handling issues and suggested a softer compound rubber, the fitter agreed. I had all 4 changed and it handled a lot better, about a week later I was traveling back home and took the same roundabout at 50, it handled as though it was on rails,they loved it. In some countries, people have different tyres for summer and winter,over here most people don't. same with tyres, to a lot of people a tyre is a tyre, so long as it's the correct size they're all the same right? Wrong, tread pattern and the rubber make up can massively affect the cars handling, hence why although a performance motor may have the same tyre size as a family saloon,the performance cars tyre may be 3 or 4 times dearer.
