thanks for the replies chaps - interesting to read about your experiences...
anyone know how many xtreme owners their are? (and how many are on here!) I know they are more pricey, but I am tempted by the AVON C500 - the caterham designed job.. the only thing is that the profile is 195/45 rather than /50 - which will mean more revs to do the same speed - not sure if i want that in the v8 ! cheers, Chris On 5 June 2013 21:20, Nigel Plant <nigelp...@gmail.com> wrote: > Apologies if this post appears twice but for some reason when I post from > the phone, it doesn't seem to work! > > I have done a lot of tyre investigation both on track and road and have > formed the following conclusions.
