  New Michelin tyres last longer, and save fuel without sacrificing grip 30 Jun 2010 (News)
    Longevity remains Michelin’s prime attribute, usually meaning that the company’s slightly more expensive tyres cost less in the long run. Relatively low rolling resistance means they also save you money in fuel. But no driver puts longevity and fuel saving over safety, so Michelin’s tyres must also provide grip at least the equivalent of the competition.

  And this is what Drive it Day is all about - even if it goes much deeper than that, and reflects what classic car ownership as a whole is all about.

So, all's well in the world, and the classic car scene can hold its head high following the estimated 250,000 old vehicles that trundled out on to the Queen's highway yesterday, then.
