Ford Falcon BFII XT
(235/40 R18 W) on
mostly town
for 3,000
spirited miles
My taxi covers about 4,000km per week, 2,500km of which is covered by me. I put a set of Neuton NT5000 tyres on the car a week ago and it's rained every day since.
Wet weather traction has been fantastic. I don't drift around aimlessly; I'm out to make money and keep my car moving at a good pace. Dry weight of the car is 1,700kg, so by the time you add fuel, equipment and a couple of people it's over 2,000kg. I've tried pushing the car hard through corners and it hasn't broken traction once.
I don't know how long they'll last for, but I'm extremely pleased with their wet weather grip.
I'm very impressed. It's early days but first impressions are good. At this stage this will be my permanent tyre.
