175/70 17 Tire Review Highlights

Marangoni M900 T80 rated 62% while driving a Ford Fisher Fury 1.6 Kent engine
Driving on mostly country roads for 5000 spirited miles
I bought a Fisher Fury kit car with these tires fitted.Grip in the dry isn't the best but not bad. Grip in the wet is almost non existent with wheel spin on very small amounts throttle. In the dry the way they let go is an absolute hoot, which gets better the hotter they are. Round Llandow race track my mates in Westfields fitted with Yokos reckoned I was the widest car out there. Aim for the apex then steer out with the throttle pedal until you have to back off because there's no track left. Wear! I reckon they're made of nylon, I can't get rid of them they've done 2 track days and about 5000 road miles but then the car only weighs as much as a postage stamp with the glue licked off. Would I buy them again. NO!
