Try driving your car at the limit and you will hear your tires squeal too! :lol:

I am not in the habit of making my tires sqeal during corning but I did notice with my winter tire setup that the tires can squeal with some spirited corning where my summer tire setup was as quiet as a mouse. Obviously my winters have a lower corning limit with its taller aspect tire sizing (45 series summer on 17s vs 60 series winter on 15s.)

Plus me thinks that the British were trying to poo poo the big bad American car by showing it in its worst light. <_<

There's nowhere around here that taxes the Focus that hard. I'd need to hit a track to really push it (I don't consider doing 130km/h on an onramp marked at 70km/h pushing it)

If this is related to tires, the P6's never bitched no matter what I did to 'em and so far the Nokian's haven't either. I'm sure they tested the Mustang with the stock A/S rubber, but is the stock rubber that bad? :blink:

I suppose the Brits were probably pissed that some of the Mustangs underpinnings are shared with the baby Jag but still :huh:
