Post by: Stemo on 01 June 2014, 18:56:44
...tyres and suspension settings. Is there anyone on here who could explain about the pros and cons of different brands of tyre and about such things as toe and camber and other technical aspects.
I look forward to your input.

True, but as Stemo will testify, a back box is a back box, regardless of price ;D

Yep, the advice is easy. Drive it to the shops and back ('cos it's good for nothing else) and be glad you're not walking. How's that? ;)

Yes. When I go round a bend or, even worse, a roundabout, I feel really deprived when the back end of my car comes with me. Where's the excitement, the heart racing, the shit in my pants? ;D

Ah ok, try accelerating on to a roundabout, the suddenly lift off as you turn in :y

That should be exciting enough for this week...

Why would I want to do that? The gormless fickin taxi driver behind me would probably hit me up the rear. ;D

That's why I wouldn't do it.........because I have a choice, you see. No choice in a RWD, I'm afraid.  :P

This one sounds as if it would fit the bill, Michelin Pilot Primacy   225 / 50  R 17   98   V
anyone able to comment, knowingly on this tyre fitted to a high performance FWD car?
