Hi barrheadred..... agree with you, and it should be interesting to find out... Humpty came just too late this year for the winter weather challenge , but will be all kitted and ready with the magic of grip-control plus those Goodyear Vector 4Season M+S tyres for the next months.
You have no doubt seen the Youtube promo video of a white 2008 (probably Al's before he got that great discount
) making it up the icy ski slopes without much problem, good to know that that performance is available to us if the weather changes and you live on top of a hill.
One thing about these Goodyear treads... they've got a great take-home apetite for chippings and any other small debris - no puncture's yet
- but reccon we need one of those old fashioned boy-scout devices for clearing out horses hooves - just to keep ready in the glove box
Humpty is so much quieter along the road after a good tyre dung out.
Weather usually still OK hereabouts in the south.. How's Glascow in October ?
cheers
