    Great video Rach. I’ve just got myself a Mk 8 Fiesta, albeit a boring Diesel, but it’s great. I had a Mk 7 previously but the Mk 8 is such a massive step up in the way it drives & handles.

    This video has thrown my off cause I thought that slicks have a greater contact patch so a set of worn tyres should in theory have more grip but don't know anymore.

    Such a pity that 2nd runs out to 57mph.. If it was just geared a little bit more say to 62mph (100kph for us Aussies) then the 0-60 would get under the 6secs.
    Nothing wrong with the Michelin PS4's. got them myself in 235/40 18's. They are pretty good in the rain as well, not that we have had any rain since Nov last year

    Most of the gain is down to the rubber being fresh and soft. Over time the rubbers stiffens and you lose grip. That and it might be possible that the compound is different accross the thread if you know what I'm saying. It could be a bit harder

    more tread does not mean more grip you will have.
    now if you was at some where like brands hatch silverstone santapod then do the same test worn new and slick tyres.
    you will see the difference even very low tread like 0.5mm on a treaded tyre will act like a slick tyre.
    even tyre pressure can make a big change.

    the way those old tyres were worn, it looks like your alignment is out a bit, ideally the tread should wear evenly across the full tread, worth a checkover. [your car goes faster with correct geometry]
    lewis hamilton dosen't have any tread on his tyres for his fastest times..... but sometimes theory + practice just don't work out, too many variables at play on your test, but interesting vid nevertheless

    I think that you was getting better times because of multiple runs. The tyres were getting warmer which provided you more grip and better times :) I do not think that you was getting better times because of different launch methods.

    Did you stick the the OEM Sizing? I believe you can even go up to 235 because the wheels are 7.5" wide. Not that the tyre width makes that much of a difference but it does help. Compound is way more important so glad you went with the Michelin PS4S. Nice video 😉
