The Traction, Tread wear and Temperature ratings on tyres come from a US Federally mandated test regime. If the tyres are to be sold in the US, they must have them. Traction is an artificial WET traction test where the tyre is run through basically a large puddle (cant remember the speed though). It is a measure of resistance to aquaplaning. Temperature is a measure of the tyres resistance to damage caused by continuous high speed running. It is tested by mounting on a machine which spins the tyre at various speeds and internal pressures against a rough roller which varies in surface temperature. The force of the roller vs tyre can be changed too. Therefore a 2000kg car doing 160kmh for 6 hours in the Arizona desert at 85* road temp with a slightly underinflated tyre can be simulated if required. Of course the test is actually standardised. The tread wear is also from an artificial testing method using computer driven machines. It is used more as a measure of tread hardness rather than mileage.

The Electronic Brake-force Distribution system should compensate at least to a degree for an improved / changed brake set up, shouldnt it? BTW Do BAs even have a brake bias valve given that they have ABS + EBD both of which are controlled / varied in real time?

Think? I doubt it.

WTF would someone spend $1 more than RRP on a PRE-SALE ITEM especially when the end date on the auction is FARKIN RELEASE DATE! My God people are stupid......

Gday mate. Depends on what you want done. Suspension? Brakes? Exhaust? Dyno? etc etc

NO! NO! NO! NO! Absolute farken rubbish and a total con. Please dont waste you money on this. Spend it on strippers, at least youd enjoy wasting the cash then.

So, whats getting deleted? Just sledging? And 'yo momma....' comments?

Mine stays on all the time (as long as as ignition is on).

Get the lightest wheels you can afford. Saving eg 10kg on the wheels is reckoned to be the equal to at least 30kg off the body. How much you want to spend making a big-ass car lighter? Or do you mean just by getting rid of bits?

Maybe they get a special car. Hand tuned by HRT or something.
