Tyres - Worth a watch before asking

[mk1fan]

This YouTube video is worth a watch before posting asking about tyres. Solid reviewer who actively tries to maintain blind reviewing.

Indeed, if you spend sometime looking at their channel you'll fins reviews of all the tyres recommended across the few thousand threads asking 'what tyres' in the forum.

Perhaps this could be made a 'sticky'?

The problem is that none of those tyres are made in a size that fit a TVR as standard from the factory, so what is the point of watching it?

The smallest size wheel size that a PZ5 comes in is 18" and the TVRs that used an 18 inch wheel were a 35 section profile which the PZ5 isn't made in at 18 inches.

Surely the tests done by Auto Express, ADAC, Auto Bild and tyrereviews.com are more authoritive anyway?

Except the Tuscan (maybe others?) that use 40 profile as standard - 235/40 R18 front, 245/40 R18 rear, both sizes available according to Pirelli website.

Edited to add - this review is actually a test done by ‘tyrereviews.com’ - so I suppose it qualifies as ‘authoritative’?
