 Ford Focus - 02 1.6 Changing to 'all-season' tyres..... - TeeCee

I found the opposite when I fitted Kleber Quadraxers to my old Opel Zafira. The understeer which those things are famous for and which was very obvious on the preceeding Michelin Energys disappeared on the spot. I have to admit that I was astonished as I fully expected dry/warm handling to be worse.

I guess that, as always, it depends on the car and the boots fitted.
