while driving a
MINI Cooper S Works
(205/40 R17 W) on
a combination of roads
for 500
spirited miles
After having T1S all around on my 2004 Mini Cooper S Works, I was expecting good things with this PX4 having being recommended them by my local tire fitter.
After letting them bed in for a 100 miles I went for a spirited drive on some dual carriage ways with long sweeping bends and obvious straights.
Let me say this is the most dangerous tire I have ever come across. On rutted roads I would get the traction control light flashing whilst braking from 70mph due to the tires moving about so much at the rear.
The tread blocks move about so much you can just push it with your finger. Going around 70 degree bends at just 30 mph, you could feel the car sliding out from the back end. Also confirmed by the DSC light.
Went back to the tire fitters and they replaced them for me with some better tires.
God only knows what these will be like in the wet / winter. Glad I had them swapped out.
