Xmods Slick and Tread Tyre Set

X-Mod, get the most out of your speakers.

Advantages: Improves sound quality, gets sound out of a USB port.
Disadvantages: Phones kill them!!! (Temporarily)

Just before I was just heading to University in 2007, I had some spare money, so needed a laptop of course, and then figured I needed a device to broadcast my music to the rest of the university block, so I bought some ?Acoustic Energy Aego M? speakers, (I have a review of these on here if you?re interested in them) to summarize them, they are reasonably high quality speakers, so when I ordered them I ordered a Creative X-Mod Sound card with them for 2 reasons: 1) May as well get the most put of your speakers, I read some reviews on the card, and they said it was excellent. Normally I would try the speakers before ordering the sound card, as it was £30-£40 (can?t remember exactly). When I thought about it some more, this is a small price to pay, if I?ve paid over £100 for the speakers, I may as well get the most. 2) This is specific to ...

Review of Creative XMOD

Toyo Tyres

Advantages: great tyres
Disadvantages: Hard to find

Toyo are a Japanese Tyre manufacturer that not many people have heard of. Yet to me they are the most sexy looking tyre around, if tyres can be sexy! I mean the tread pattern of course! I had toyos all around on my RS Turbo. The grip level was unreal and the depth of tread great. The tyres on my Tub were standard size 195/50/15's and a tyre that low in profile normally loses a lot of its tread in order to cater for the profile. Not the Toyo. It has a very wide tread pattern. Making a lot of contact with the road while giving it enough play to movce around and keep you stuck down. In the wet, the wide tread allowed the car to tip toe through the water rather than slip and slide through it. They dont just cater for quick cars. You can pick up a nice tyre for your family saloon or hatchback too. The range seems to grow ...

Review of Toyo Tyres

Pirelli, the tyres from the Calendar people . .

Advantages: Very good grip when you need it.
Disadvantages: Just the cost.

I you shop around, at local tyre fitters as well as on the internet, you will find that there are many places selling bargain tyres, but you must pay for delivery, and fitting, and balancing, Oh and the new valve, then there is the charge for disposing of your old tyres. I decided this saving just wasn't worth the hassle. I therefore went to my local tyre fitting centre. My tyre expert is worth his weight in gold, and he runs his hand across the tread before doing anything else. He then knows if the steering geometry is wrong, in some cases it can save premature wear on your tyres, and can save the customer a fortune, never mind affecting safety. If you want to visit the Pirelli website, take a look see here:- http://www.pirelli.co.uk/web/default.page New tyres need to be run in, and then checked as often as you can ...
