Which he didn't exceed. I don't believe that the rear tyres ever turned 50mph faster than the car was going

Old winter tyre thread is in the 'tyre' section - Scroll down on the home page...

From what I can find on tinternet, speed ratings aren't part of the class IV test...

To get the fastest 0-60 times, the manual has to be somewhat abused (in a skilful way)...The DSG not so, its just the way it works anyway. So in the real world, when those manual boxes aren't abused the DSG is going to be quicker.

I believe the performance is all to do with the type of DSG box fitted. There is a 7 speed dry clutch and a 6 speed wet clutch. The oil in the boxes causing drag and causing a loss of performance over the dry equivalent, but the dry clutches can't be used on engines which produce loads of torque.

The clip onto the wheel bolts - The steel wheel in use doesn't come into it.

Any tie between those getting better MPG having CR engines and those who don't having PD?

Bought from mytyres and paid with paypal. No issues, delivery after 7 days...

Guess this is where they got if from... TD (With his and her tyres nicely in the shed!)

Does the Mazda 6 steel wheels fit the Octy - I get the feeling they may be a couple of mm out on the PCD spacing?

Ive bought some winters from MyTyres. I had no grief at all after paying with PayPal

Found they suffer when dirty too (well, ahem, very dirty!)

I have a funny feeling that for one persons driving style, cruise is more efficient. For another persons' style cruise is less efficient. I bet there is a group in the middle too! Driving to and from work (75miles each way) for a year showed me that cruise less efficient for me, but when coming home from a 12+ hour day is was a nicer way to drive!

Very red, I have similar wheels but no hub caps? Just curious where you got them? Cheers TD

Dan, No ignition on a diesel! Diesels just stop the fuel flowing which kinda kills them... TD
