Greetings from The Netherlands (new VX owner need help de-ricing)

Indeed, but first I want to keep the water out. lol

There is an K&N aluminium intake tube modded. Am looking for the OEM aitbox and tube.

Tune up kit is on the way.

The VX is called VEi in the Netherlands

Gents,

I read on a Dutch tyre site that you can save on fuel when you drive winter tyres above 7 C in the summer.

I find this very strange because of the hi-grip Gekko feet contact area.


Has anyone tried this?

I can't post link yet for the source :-(

I think it is because it is a harder compound rubber than summer tires.
ALSO, I think that some people run a taller winter tire (so the car sits a little taller in the snow.)
Then when they put the summer(smaller) tire on they get less mileage.

Might be, but I guess you will be going through your set of winter tires really fast during the summer.
