MagicMikeZ32 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 In other news... Swapped some 2871's into a mates zed over the weekend. What a PITA. Goes pretty decent tho, considering 14psi and a stock engine with low comp on at least 1 cyl Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431233-mugabetown-whoretownin-at-its-worst/page/765/#findComment-7244434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smity42 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I found them quite good also :s For the price They're decent in the dry, but absolute rubbish in the wet. As quite a few at the sprint day last year will attest to . If you think they're 'quite good' in the wet, you need to try some other tyres Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431233-mugabetown-whoretownin-at-its-worst/page/765/#findComment-7244441 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMikeZ32 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Engine Out? Engine out, block ground a bit, AC removed, engine mount decimated.

Captain Natro Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Live to bake? Just poor Kent and like the look of stretched tires, ultimately I want 275s on the arse and 235s on the front.

Bunta Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) For real though 595s are never going to be excellent in the wet, they have no radial grooves, The EVO or the RPM are needed for that. Trouble with either of those is the crappy size selection though, Luckily I can fit a 285 if I really must.

Smity42 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Ohhhhhhh I didn't realise they were designed to be a wet track tyre! I wasn't using them at the track... but others were and found them to be quite useless. I have used them on the road before though and they were terrible in the wet. This pair I just found in my garage, I think I bought them second hand from Pete. They are equally awful. You are right they are never going to be good in the wet due to their tread pattern. Just can't figure out why people keep buying them and claiming they are god's gift of cheap tyres when they are so, so bad in the wet :S. Guess the kiddies just love their liquid horsepower and don't know how much better it is to have tyres that actually provide some traction in the wet Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431233-mugabetown-whoretownin-at-its-worst/page/765/#findComment-7244561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
