I went to pull away from a junction quickly to make a gap. Ended up spinning the tyres (unfortunately not as dramatic as pictured) when only turning about 2000-2500rpm. Didn't even drop the clutch that quickly. Might be worth upgrading at some point.

I'm not sure but I have the receipt for them and they're listed as "economy tyres" and only cost £60 fitted for the front pair.

Next time you should get some proper tires, instead of knockoff tyres.

The car came with them. Here every single car I viewed in my price range had mismatched bargain basement tyres. Just how people do things here.

I'm likely going to get a wider size when these wear out anyway.

Economy tires tend to be a harder compound. Less grip. More spin.

Yeah they're rock hard. May as well be plastic.

I don't think my engine is powerful enough to turn those wheels haha.
