looks interesting, I'll read tonight sometime, hopefully they gently bedded the tyres in for approx 100 miles before performance testing them

the A008s seem to be about £70 for the best price, were they mounted on 5" or 4.5" rims & how far do they stick out of the body if the car has negative camber bottom arms & no arches, my car had Michelin XAS 145 X 10 fitted years ago so had no issues with the body as they were an assymetric tyre, several coppers looked very hard but it says 'no visible tread' in the MOT testers handbook
