I just nearly died lol.
was waiting at a junction for an eternity, no one letting me out, mercedes drivers turning in next to me could have easily let me out but no.
anyway saw a gap so, vroooommm vrooooommm revs around 5krpm dumped the clutch and turned right. Turbo spools and sends the 'Star performer' and 'pirelli' mixed tread back end around 180 degress so im facing the junction i just came out of. spin the wheel back to the left as there are cars coming, in a powerslide 4wd type drift now  then BANG, front right tyre into the kerb. manage to straighten up, a car has stopped and is waiting, he positively looks like he`s shitting himself. anyway quickly drive off feeling like a dick
my uniroyal rainsports on old rims would have gripped and the manouvere would have worked lol.
morale of the story dont put different treads on teh same axel, especially on a 4wd car and with a tyre called fucking 'star performer'

My bro had Star Milleniums on his Vectra for a bit. They lasted for years and years, I think they have more plastic in than rubber.
