My question was to suggest that the correction should be posted on Mrs Google for a broader consumption - not just to this limited forum.
It would then help more of us poor ignorant people.
Cheers, Tony.
I won't ask Mrs Google again

However, trust me, I’m at least as reliable as Google when it comes to tyres. As a tyre engineer I know I can completely change a tyres grip characteristics by adjusting things like sidewall cord tension and angles, tread belt (ie the metal bit) construction, even tread pattern can have an effect. Simple friction theory says this shouldn’t be possible. It is. That’s why I said what I did.Thank you- possibly leave this as the last answer to a very complex question.
