The importance of having a good set of tyres beneath you is a top priority especially when you are seeking performance. At the end of the day you can have all of the power in the world under the bonnet, but when it comes to transferring that to the ground there are only four bits of rubber touching tarmac. In truth the amount of contact your car has with the road is only about the size of a postcard per wheel! A tyre that offers high levels of grip when the road gets twisty is key and Bridgestone with their new Adrenalin tyres put that to the test.

Inviting bloggers from 6 different countries to the famed Ascari Race Resort in spain, they were tasked with writing a blog whilst being hurtled around the race track in challenging conditions. Now, sometimes as a journalist writing a handful on notes on the bus home can be tricky, let alone being subjected to the lateral loads a professional racing driver an generate. Oh, and did I mention they were not allowed to make any spelling mistakes? The video below show the results. It is clear to see that the car has no issues biting into the tarmac and giving the driver the confidence to push hard around the circuit. With Journalists clinging to their laptops, typos being dodged and screams accompanying the chorus of the engine, this comical campaign made us giggle… Check out Bridgestone’s website here for more information on Adrenalin tyres.

In the good old USA BIGGER is BETTER! In a country where supersizing is the norm and drinking a regular coffee makes you a whimp, when it comes to luxury cars it is “go big or go home…” The amount of real estate your car takes up is a big reflection on you socially. Though the environmentalists are clamping down, the desire is still there for large cars. The Cadillac Escalade has always been a popular choice for the Americans, and now there is a new one.

The 2015 Cadillac Escalade picks up from where the previous generation left off providing a big solid SUV. Powered by a 6.2 litre EcoTec3 V8, yes that massive engine does have “eco” in its name, the new car produces 420HP and 460lb ft of torque. The interior has been completely redesigned and has a much more premium look to it. Those “bling bling” alloy wheels are 22 inches and compliment the new front fascia.

The 2015 Cadillac Escalade goes on sale early next year. Pricing has yet to be announced.
