DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.

This demonstration was performed with actual professionals, driving an actual car, to demonstrate the AMAZING LynDoor™SuperSticker© Tyre/brake System's AMAZING stopping power when set at its highest (PANIK®) traction level.

(Results may vary depending on make/model of vehicle, road conditions at the time of test, weather conditions at the time of test, driver weight at the time of test, driver reflexes at the time of test, blood alcohol level at the time of test, and other factors beyond the control of the manufacturer.

Unconditional lifetime guarantee available for a small additional fee. (Parts only, not the whole car! Whadda ya think we're crazy?)

Taking a cue from airline companies' seating plans, automakers have figured out a way to park a lot more cars into a smaller area.

I put it in for service, front wheel drive, tune up and engine balance, and that's the way it come back. They said it reduces tyre wear? but I think steering will be a bit of a worry?
