Hi Team,
Can't imagine why, but curiosity has reached fever pitch in our office
this morning regarding the rating of tyres. Basically, we want to know
what the following means:- Treadwear 180, Traction A and Temperature A.
Does a treadwear 200 last longer than a 180 and if so, by how much?
Do I need to buy tyre warmers this winter?!!!
Hopefully there's someone out there who's familiar with tyre technics.

Thanks, Stu.
