uniberp Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Sine the Furtster has 60k it is still young enough to warrant quality tires, so I bought the Yokohama Avid Ascent from Discount. Supposedly made with orange oil which makes for a more temperature stable compound. I can't tell anything from driving it. New tires always seem smoother no matter what brand/type. It's not like I ever 'get on it' anyhow. My only trick is to downshift into 3 instead of braking. Auto. Now maybe I can really "peel out".

efseiler Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Orange oil? At least it ain't make out of 'snake oil'! Maybe they are referring to that offshore rig near Ireland... Ireland was orange, too ya know! Cheers! --Damien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
