Touch wood if anything happen, dont blame the tyre or the person who "tested" it coz it is the driver trying to outperform what he/she can handle with the help of "performance" tyre. Seen some driverd blame the tyre after accident like a kid blame and hit the table/chair when they knock on them :ohmy:
