Are cars over-tyred today?
Discussion
You'd have to say the safety aspect gets a big gain from over-tyred cars but what happens to the fun factor?
Today you can get an Astra 1.8L with 140bhp has the same tyre width as an old Sierra Cosworth and the BMW 318i has 225 I think as an option!
When I grew up you had 155/165 on mainstream cars and could really slide them around without being scared to death. So has the fun factor been thrown out for pure grip? Or am I just getting old and living in the past?
