Theres no need to exaggerate. It was 72.  ;D

When I had the car with Jinyu,s on I was starting the process of slowing down into senility & decrepitude, but still had my moments.
I'm now a fully paid up member of the pipe, slippers & cardigan brigade. A beige Jag XJ will probably be my next car.  :y

That's the nail on the head. I don't drive fast round corners therefore have never had issue with grip on my lowly BCTs.

For me when I next need tyres I'll try these as my bcts are noisy. Would like it to be more comfy. But budget didn't permit at the time hence I put on ditch finders

I wouldn't, those Gallop tyres have a very high dB level so certainly far from quiet.

I've got Goldway G2000's on my Omega which cost £38 a corner.

They're reasonably quiet, I havn't found myself in the hedge yet and after about 10000 miles, still have about 5mm of tread left.  :y

For those amongst us who just drive about normally, a thick elastic band would suffice.

Is this experience of the tyre or info from the sticker?
