High Performance Every Day Cars
Those of us with young families know that a practical car is a necessity. Where once you might have gone looking for high horsepower, premium tyres and a low time to get from 0 – 60 mph, all of a sudden you find yourself praising ease of access into the back seat (no three door cars!) and boot space. But do not despair, oh petrolheads! There is an alternative option that allows you to have all the high performance you want, while also having enough space for your family.
Mercedes make the AMGs, Audi have the RS range, and BMW the M-series. All these cars are fairly discreet (unless you know enough about cars to recognise the subtle differences from the standard ranges), and where appropriate, are available as saloons or estate cars, but when you put your foot down, people will notice the difference. Underneath their bonnets, these cars all hide surprisingly large engines and can accelerate to 60mph in little over 4 seconds.
Equally at home on the track for race days, these family cars provide the reassurance that you can overtake safely, and stay on the road even if you’re going that little bit too fast round the corners. For performance cars like these, you need tyres that can perform as well. Your tyres need to have the longevity of a family car that no doubt has many school runs to do as well as commuting to and from the office, but they also need to be able to keep up with the car when driving round corners and accelerating. There’s no point spending the money for a fun family car, then putting cheap tyres on it. If ever there were a time to buy premium tyres, this is it!
