So, looking for some new tyres for wifeys Mini, and mytyres.co.uk comes up with this beautiful description of the Continental PremuimContact2:

"Summer tyres for cars and buses Modern high shyny with 3-D track . New Summer 2005, Continental Premium Contact 2. Dynamic design, a vigorous response to the acceleration, the best in its category at the wet road adhesion are characteristic features of the new tyres Continental Premium Contact 2. Sheen, as the previous model behaves like a cat's leg : Brake pressure on the wheel increases, leading to an increase patch, Under normal traffic conditions, the tyre remains narrow, square patch decreases.. Asymmetrical tread pattern has three operational areas : the outer side of the large, flat clusters responsible for the management and sustainability while driving in a corner. Closed shoulder external low-noise tyres in contact with the road. The average area of ammunition grooves provides high braking properties of dry and wet road."

I may buy some... if only to see the "sheen behave like a cat's leg", and the "average area of ammunition grooves".

WTF?!?!?!
