Tires for the track on a Volkswagen Golf GTI.

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Tires

At Blyton Park, three different types of tires were tested, all size 235/40 R18: Yokohama Advan A052, which is the moral winner with immediate grip, low wear, and great confidence. Vitour Tempesta was surprising on the stopwatch but difficult to drive; it has a lot of understeer and extremely high wear; Nankang CRS is extremely consistent: it needs a lap to warm up, but once at temperature, it is as pleasant and precise as the Yokohama. In summary, the Yokohama tires are the best and most complete: fast right away, excellent in the wet, and durable despite the stress of the track. The Nankang are almost at the same level in terms of performance and durability, while the Vitour Tempesta were somewhat disappointing; they squeal a lot, slide, and wear out too quickly.

How to Repair the Key Spring of the Peugeot 207?

Over time, frequent use of the key's flip mechanism in the vehicle, dozens of times a day, inevitably leads to wear of the internal spring. As shown in this video, replacing the spring is quite simple and takes little time. After opening the casing halfway, first position the key, then the spring housing, and finally insert the spring into the previously mentioned housing. Close the casing by rotating it clockwise, ensuring all components fit perfectly, and test the key's flip mechanism.
