Hi Slow one trust me I have driven the car John was testing with and both the cars Dez was testing with on about 4 occassions on the old control tyre so Yes I have driven one and was speaking from fairly extensive experience having also owned not one but two of these hpi's myself
lol
I just liked the slippy slide of it all, brings a different skill to it plus some people had invested a fair amount of money in trying these tyres out like Dez for all that to now be a waste.
I dont mind what we use aslong as its black and round-ish
I am going just for a laugh have done a 24hrs before with mardaves with mates at our old club years ago and its always a chuckle.
