    Sometimes, I like being really tight and poor.
    Like the Stratos watch thread, this is another one of those occasions

    Jim, I'll accept you can be tight (being Scottish and all that) but I'm not buying your 'poor' claim for one minute!

    I wish to complain about this blatant stereotyping of Yorkshireman. 'Me being one.

    No offence intended Chris - I like to parody the Four Yorkshiremen - and I even have Yorkshire friends! Well, did have until that post.

    Correct Craig! And even the lowly 12v Alfa has enough power/torque to break traction..... In 30 years my car has had 225.50.15 on the back followed by the 345.35.15 on conversion to Group 4. Initially I had Yokohamas but the car was awful in the wet, you could feel it almost floating. Horrible. A switch to the Pirelli Assimetricos changed that completely.

    There must be something in the tread design that works because Pirelli resurrected the same tread pattern for the P7 Corsa Classic W7 wets-

    Good news Michelin have just reintroduced the TB15+ 345x35x15 although Longstone Tyres are advertising it still as 335x35x15 only found this out at the Circuit of Ireland Rally while talking to Michelin.
