Summary
This week Tony and I are joined by Jonathan Benson of Tyre Reviews. I've known Benson for about 4 years now and he is Europe's leading tyre tester. A nerdy appreciation for the difference in tyre compounds got him in to a unique line of work and as a result he has driven some very interesting cars... and some very uninteresting cars! Tony and I chat to him about his line of work and his thoughts on the current tyre industry.
