Default Cheap tyres and 340 PAS!

This week's auto express has a good tyre review article - Vreidestein come out top which surprised me. A limited range of tyres of course, and only 195/65 size, but interesting all the same.

Re the 340 and PAS, my Mum had a 1980 340 GL 1.4 variomatic which had PAS - she would only buy cars with PAS and the choice was this or a Datsun Cherry. Wise choice don't you agree? lol

Apologies in advance for being so harsh, but in all honesty, that site is rubbish.
There is a tiny amount of heavily Pirelli biased information, and it just comes across as a site designed to refer you to other sites.
There is no real content there, and it is so badly laid out.

The only reason I can think of the recommend that site is if you are in some way affiliated to it, or gain from referrals from it.

For on line reviews, try www.tyretest.com - its the site linked from www.mytyres.com. Tyres are reviewed and rated by users not magasines or other parties with vested interests. Obviously, this means that views are polarised - people generally only rate a tyre if they don't like it, or if they love it. Worth a look all the same.
