I couldn't stand the very unpleasant behavior of my one-year-old T-Trac2 from Indian production any longer. As I already mentioned, the car shook uncomfortably from side to side between 70 km/h and 90 km/h. Balancing didn't help. Now I've tried a tyre that is actually one of the cheaper options also with the dimensions 165/80/15. This Maxxis Mecotra has some of the best test results for dry and wet grip from ADAC, the German automobile club. It has very good grip, similar to the T-Trac2, maybe even a little bit better. And most importantly, it runs absolutely smoothly and without any nasty sideways wobbling more like the older T-Trac2 did, more like a billiard ball now. I'm also pleasantly surprised by how good it looks. The grooves in the tread protrude more into the side than on the T-Trac2, giving it a more rustic look.
