Just picked up my new ZT and here's the premium tyres it wears
Nanking nearly new
2 Primewells on the front 80% new
1 Maxxis half worn
And a kippered Maxxis as a spare.
Needless to say road noise is horrendous grip non existant

Over the next few months will get some decent Contis on before it's damp never mind rain lol!

Interesting tyre choice, nearly as bad as mine.

I won't tell you what the new ZT-T came with then!

Even though I only drive to the Post Office most days, you can really feel how poor the WindForce and Runway tyres are...

Avons for me, once I've got a bit more use from these.

When I change them will offer them on here to someone at a knockdown price as I do appreciate sometimes we have bills to pay that come at the wrong time and if it helps someone that's what we are all about. I will tell them to drive sensibly tho.

Make sure you do change them or you will end up with a write off like I did!

coab · 18th August 2014, 17:19

I know how you felt. The thing is if you are ultra careful they will do a job but incidents like yours highlight hidden dangers when people are unaware. A tyre is a tyre I hear people say errr sorry no !!!

Driving at that speed on a wet road it's a wonder you didn't kill yourself, think yourself lucky.
