The British Standards do not test for wet stopping distance.
At what point will you realise that you don't appear to have sufficient understanding to debate this properly?

OP : "are re-treads any good?"
everyone (apart from mickie) : "no no and no"
mickie "r888's"
OP : "thanks for your advice I shall ignore it and troll"
mickie "r888's"
People are keeping it alive long enough for herp derp to post some gifs
Sentence needs more logic and fewer commas.
Consumer confidence in the use of retreaded tyres has received a substantial boost in recent years with the news that two EC regulations relating to the "type approval" of retreaded tyres have become mandatory across the EU. The two Regulations, which identify uniform conditions for the approval of individual retreading facilities, are ECE Regulation 108, which relates to the production of retreaded pneumatic tyres for private (passenger) cars and their trailers, and ECE Regulation 109, which specifically deals with the production of commercial vehicle retreads.
Although these regulations had been available for use on a voluntary basis since June 1998, their application became compulsory in the UK with effect from January 1st, 2004 and across the EU during 2006.
The legislation means that retread producers have effectively become 'licensed' operations, a move which has made a considerable contribution towards ensuring that the quality, integrity and performance of retreaded tyres are, at the very least, on a par with that of new tyres
thanks PMKeates for the insult, i guess you wont back up your argument, because you cant ?

the shocking part here isn't purely that Mickie and the OP are contemplating using retreading tyres. The shocking part is the amount they are saving is about what I spend a on 2 weeks' commuting on the train, dinner for 2 or a jacket.
I say again, £200 for a set of Continentals is a bargain.

have i said i use them ? my tyres cost £100 a tyre.
ive also spend £75 on snow tyres when i could have got remoulds, at £55..
i dont think you're getting my point
Absolutely I do when it comes to tyre safety. They don't test for the things that matter.
There is A huge difference between the performance characteristics of different tyres despite them all being ece approved. This is documented fact.

and you have got yourself a days holiday to calm down alittle.
Totally agree.
a tyre from Dunlop is not going to be same as one from Michelin.they all have different chemical make up therefore different coefficient of friction
a remould is a rubber of unknown quality being stuck to a carcase of unknown age. new tyres have a 6 year life. ECE regulations is like HSE a bunch of ***** who dont know what half of what they talking about
