No Problems. However, at age 85, the boy racer has died and I might be in the slow-coach bracket. I don't think so but my years of experience help me to interpret the road conditions and drive accordingly. I don't brake hard and I don't lean on the corners of the tread I get good mileage from my tyres which perform well for me.
