On track they would leave it off. on the track its all about the pilot. traction control can sometimes slow the car down out of corners if ya have mastered the art of balancing the throttle and weight shifting

No question is a daft one. No bud defo spinning up will have to price some tyres up see if that helps tbh I can't really see it helping will just have drive it sensible from now on yay lol. I'd love to have a go on a track day although I'd prob rite it off (agen) lmao.
I've learned over the years that cheaper tyers are ok in the dry but crap in the wet. As im sure a few other people on here have! Yes some of the cheaper tyers do rely on a softer compound and some have duel compound. Once you wear the sticky top compound there crap.
The expensive tyers have had a lot of money spent on the tread design and the correct compound. As Wayne Rooney would say, you get what you pay for.
I never drive with the Traction Control on, it comes off at the same time as releasing the handbrake when I start it up. On track it can (will) slow you down as well.
I'll be quite happily paying that much (and more) per tyre for my next set.
I don't like to skimp on the only thing keeping me on the road. Different driving styles suit different tyres
^ what he said.
I can't believe people who spend £000's remapping/tuning/brakes to go and spend as little as possible on the 1sq ft of contact area that holds them on the road. I'll be spending nigh on £800 on my next set of tyres, but hey, we'll see who can stop first when required

Aye, Parada's in the wet are interesting, but can still be used better than budget tyres.
Pat - precisely bud, I have around 318lb ft and wouldn't dare use ditchfinder budgets

winter tyres are for lower temps , think 7 degs an below which i imagine thats for most of us
something to do with the rubber compound something like silica helping it not to go too hard under colder temps
sounds a bit like viagra haha
