Interior Minister Manuel Valls said Tuesday that 1,193 vehicles were torched
by French youths overnight in what has become a dubious New Year's Eve
tradition.
Hundreds of empty, parked cars go up in flames in France each New Year's
Eve, set afire by young revelers, a much lamented tradition
Mitch, the 4-ETS 4matic system like the standard ETS (Electronic
Traction Support) on some models are similar in that there is no
throttle intervention, power/torque is regulated by brake application
only, forcing up to 25% of the available torque to a single wheel (in
the case of 4-ETS).
I think Jaime may be able to help you with a source for decent tires that will
fit your wheels and your budget. Search his past posts.
