Anyone tried them on the Omega?

I hate being the ginueau pig, as I was for SC5s - which I don't recommend.

[Lazydocker]

Nope... But I'm looking forward to your results

[andyc]

Give me size and i'll give you the new ratings if that helps

Those ratings are absolutely meaningless, sadly, and are detracting from what the tyre manufacturers should be aiming for - grip and longevity, or a sensible compromise thereof. Not wanking around over fuel efficiency, which nobody gives a nants piss over.

Rant over, and breath

The fuel efficiency difference between the very lowest and very highest ratings is around 5%. So, in an Omega, about 1mpg. As most tyres fall in the middle, it makes absolutely break all difference, apart from allowing the greenies to copitulate up their favourite tree....  ....while the rest of us are sliding into said tree, causing far more damage to the environment, if you believe that 'dangle berries'.


Thanks for the offer AndyC, but not required, I have them. Unless you have access to proper comparisons (to Sport Maxx TT)

Imo if you want more fuel efficiency from your tyres,inflate them a bit more  - seemples.
Btw,if anyone wants a long term report on Jinyus finest,im your man.

[TheBoy]

Imo if you want more fuel efficiency, buy a shitbox  - seemples.

fixed.

[tunnie]

he'd get better fuel use, if he had more than 2 throttle settings 

I'm on target for 3 sets of tyres to last me 100,000 miles 

[albitz]

Imo if you want more fuel efficiency, buy an old deisel and run it on veggie oil  - seemples.

fixed.

Fixed properly.

Absolutely no use, I'm afraid. Neither of those test cars are anything like Omegas. If one was a 5 series, maybe I'd take some notice.

These same reviews said SC5s were great. They're not. They are complete shit. That shit, I am very seriously considering scrapping £700 of tyres after 1000 miles.


Lastly, I think that review is a cut and paste from several other sites. Sounds like the same words, and it was under very strict Dunlop supervision.

Dont scrap them.I will give you £100 for them.*

*Providing you can give assurances that the car hasnt visited your local BP station during the 1000 miles.

But you're demands and needs for tyres are very different
