When I bought the S2 it had BFGoodrich on it, we are talking 2002.. After we had it fettled properly, I left Tangmere roundabout in the damp one morning in a ding-dong with something or other and it span up all 4 in second, not to be defeated, I changed up and gunned up into the MTM bit in third, it just span up again... 50 mph in 3rd, wide open throttle..... Wheel spin at that point, sort of took the pi$$ on a damp dual carriageway in the springtime for a quattro.. T1R's completely irradiated all the issues... But tyre technology has massively moved on for modern tyres.... It's a shame someone isn't brave enough to put their technology where their mouth is and deliver a modern compound, grippy, mixed condition, general road use tyre to the average Lotas Esprit and Ur quattro owner.
