Hmmm....that’s a lot of damage for 100km/h.

100km at 30psi, definitely torque would be more than my wheel nuts!

more like 4000 to 5000 psi :lol:

Concrete used in industry is typically 4-5ksi (28 to 35 MPa)

Cement trucks competing oarrrr

Somebody probably light a candle for cement trucks because of late, those mixers only leaking concrete all over the roads and messing up tax payers infrastructure. Not to mention the amount of dry cement stuck under people fenders/wheel wells etc.

The infamous casuals corner
Flat and smooth, maybe even banked outwards

I honestly feeling bad for Nissan drivers now so let me help them out a bit. You guys think that some of these accidents can be attributed to poor tyres? I honestly lost track on the amount of weird Chinese branded tyres we have on the market now. Wanli and Ling Long etc lol

Chinese not all that bad. Been using PowerTrac for a year and a half now. The performance not bad at all in both wet and dry conditions but I also don't drive as if my middle name is Dom, Brian or Han.

Postby **Dave** » March 26th, 2020, 3:30 pm

Ling long was nicknamed Live long. Their parent company was into cement production. Go figure!
I always over spend on Tyres as that's the only contact between the vehicle and road.

chinee tyres are fine, as long as you drive within sensible speed limits
I know sales reps with company cars that run weird brand name tyres with no issue because they are required to drive defensively

Postby **Dave** » March 26th, 2020, 3:40 pm

Thank you! Everything has limits. I know how I drive so I am forced to spend more and not test faith!

a lot of folks driving with rear brakes not adjusted or just not holding but they never really know until its too late.

kamakazi · Postby **kamakazi** » March 26th, 2020, 4:00 pm

Smooth - yes
Banked outwards - yes
Fluids from previous accidents absorbed into the surface - yes

Accidents when wet - only for people who don't know about the corner.

There are cheap Chinese tyres and expensive Chinese tyres. Is the cheap Chinese tyres I'm afraid of.

Not sure how adjusting rear brakes makes a difference. It doesn't do a whole lot but if I had the option of it being overly aggressive versus non existent I would choose non existent.
Ever pull up your handbrakes while driving; unless you are setting up for a drift event, it will have about the same effect if set to aggressively when you step on the brake pedal
