im bout 2 change my tires, n ive come across this brand coz its cheap.. quite tempted too, but quite skeptical.. my car dont have abs, so i need tyres that r good in the wet as well..

well, it is true that driving attitude is the 1st priority no matter when its dry or wet.. but then again, i dont see any harm done in trying 2 be extra careful by choosing better tires 2 have better braking performance when its wet.. it all comes down 2 the matter of active safety n passive safety.. its like buying a car for all sorts of its safety features (abs, airbags, traction control etc), it doesnt mean that buying a car that has all these safety gizmos would imply that we're bad drivers, rite??

i mean can u really predict accidents?? if the event of an accident were 2 happen, can u really say that ure skillful enough 2 make sure u wont get involved in it?? its called an accident, as in it could happen 2 anyone, n i do mean anyone, wether how skillful or careful u r.. no harm in relying 2wards better tyres 2 increase ur odds, rite??

well, lets put it this way.. in the event of an accident, that marginal difference u so imply could mean either u leaving the scene without a single scratch on either u or ur car, OR otherwise.. if u know wat i mean that is.. its like school test results, that one mark that we think is so marginal could mean the difference of we getting an 'A' or a 'B'..

n also, u might wanna know that its not as marginal as u think.. different tyres could give very different stopping distances u know, especially on cars without abs..

as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.. videos wit sound should be worth a gazillion words then, so this might help me explain it, n help u understand it..

the point of that video isnt 2 promote continentals, or in fact any sort of brands (as the TS skeptically claims).. its juz 2 show u that tyres do play an important role..

it is true that.. but juz think bout it, in an emergency situation when panic starts 2 kick in, how many of us would actually do it??
