Tyre Tread Patterns

[Colin Morgan]

I would have thought tread pattern might have an effect on water clearance and therefore severe braking (!) or handling close to the limit - neither of which occur at all often in my Seven.

But other features of the tyres may well affect stability etc. - I once drove a Ruby with old tyres on the back on a test run and it felt very unstable - later - after buying it - I replaced the tyres and it handled well (for a Ruby).
