“The problem is that people will buy into this technology but still wrap their wheels with cheap $40 rubber.
Tires are one the most important parts of a car (IMHO). You can have ABS, VDC, ‘Crash avoidance” or whatever system but if you don’t have any traction, none of it matters.”
I can agree, but on the flip side you don’t need $200 tires either.
I use Falken ZE-512 (made by Srixon) and they’re tops on Cunsumer Reports as well as car and drivers tire list, yet they’re only around $60 apiece with a 60,000 mile warranty.
Never heard of this brand....
and the real point here is, advanced systems like ABS and wedge brakes can make those $40 tires perform like $200 ones. The best way to maximize traction is to have something other than a panicked human in charge.
