Re: OEM tyre life, is this a record?
I felt like a riding god in the wet with my Z4's. Kick it down a gear a little to early and the rear slides, and if your clever you can get a slight little front slide accelerating out of corners.
At the time though, i crapped myself and thought I was a gonner. The tyres obviously knew more than I did. MEZ6's are now on, and i have a much better relationsip in the rain and dry with the road Matt |
