    Dunlops - Difference?

    Front tyres will have done more work, as I suspect its front wheel drive biased togehter with braking and corning. The RT's will offer the most grip, feel and be the most progressive on the limit with the stiffest sidewalls followed by the GT's and then the SP's however, The SP will cover...

    Dunlops - Difference?

    For me I'd have Dunlop over Mich. anyday. We are all different, thankfully..:)

    Thoughts on Zaino

    For me I never got on with Zaino, maybe i should have persevered with it a bit longer but I found it to not last to long and required more work than a wax to buff off..

    Tyres for my Mercedes sprinter

    From using many different tyres on my Sprinter (225/70 15") of which I thought were 8 ply:- Mich. (forget) sidewalls way to soft and sway baddly when on the rear, but the grip is ok. Conti. (forget) same as the the Mich. but with a little less grip Goodyear/Dunlop - Less sway but not so good in...

    What tyre brands do you prefer?

    Tried, but for me not as good.. Toyo have one of the softest/weakest walls in the trade.. Unfortunately many are like this, even some of the so called best tyres.. Kumho are far from budget more like top of the mid range, even out performing some of the premium brands, but as you have...

    Bargain Sierra Anyone...

    Maybe it might, and whilst it's a dam sight easier to drive and way more refined making it a far better car everyday, they really are two totally different cars these days, i doubt anyone would want a cossy to use everyday now, but for an hour on a B road I know which I'd pick..

    Collinite

    For me I tried a sealant, and for ease of use and durability I just can't see me going back to a wax..

    Engine oil..yet another thread

    I currently have Petronas in a Leon Tdi, every 1500 miles it goes from max to min, even Castrol managed 3k. Trying Liqui Moly next if that doesn't live up to its name then I'll go back to Motul or Shell of which it never used any..

    WAXOYL - is it any good?

    Likewise, but they are better these day. Friend of mine still sprays old engine oil and paraffin under his every Sept. There is still no rust on his 1998/9 Vito of which he has had since he purchased it new....

    Do you use fog lights at the first hint of fog

    An IMO it's ^ this that causes Fog lights to be dangerous, because you can see the car in front clearly many drivers then keep up the same speed as the driver in front thinking there safe as they can see those fog lights, regardless of it's it's going to fast or not for the conditions, and...

    Uniroyal Rainsport 3 ??

    Which Eagles through, as for many their sporty Dunlop RT's provide more grip together with some other other brands. Cooper/Avon don't make a SV7, I presume your referring to their ZV7?

    Contis, Dunlops or Goodyears?

    They are getting better I must say, taken some decades through, but still not for me yet..

    Contis, Dunlops or Goodyears?

    From your list. The RT's for grip and feedback. Conti's for slightly less grip than the RT's but. with a soft wall and less feedback. Goodyear least grip of the above but will cover more miles with middle of the road wall strength. As you don't drive like a demon, I doubt you'd notice grip...
