Thanks for that....

One thing that gets me, on my Dad's last two Boxsters one had PS2s fitted and the new one has Bridgestone RE050A fitted.
 Why do Porsche fit the Bridgestones as they seem to get poor reviews every where "they just succeed in feeling average"......

Boxster - not a real Porsche! :P  The Caymans come with a Heinz of tyres too.  Real Porks use PS2s (although you can factory spec CSC2/3s)

real Porsche........ :grin:

Cayman S upsetting Real Porsche drivers............. :wink: :wink: :happy2:

Wheres that Gone fishing pic  :signLOL:

that made me laugh alot............

Hope you enjoy the Vred's Tagnut. Im happy as with mine, just wish i could train my right boot to go easy on the go pedal to stop wearing them out.

They are a very pretty Tyre (as tyre design gets  :ashamed:) and very quiet compared to what ive used in the past.

For the price you pay, in my opinion, there isnt much better without paying alot more for little gain over them.

Let Us know how you go Tagnut  :happy2:

I knew you were a Tyre Tread Whore..... :ashamed: I bet I could show you 10 photos of different tyre treads and you would know them all.  :innocent:

Will let you know how I get on with them.
Bye Bye Edition 30.

The reason those Vreds are quiet is due to the continuous 'rib' design of the tread (similar to early directionals).  Unfortunately, that design will mean they will aquaplane earlier than an open tread design such as a PS2/3, CSC2/3 or GY F1 Asymm.
