When I picked up my current mota, which is FWD, it has those Autogrip 'things' wrapping the rear wheels, and in slightly damp conditions, the rear of the car wanted to overtake the front.  :(
They were utter 'pish' as we say up here!  :-[
Ditch the Autogrips, before they ditch you!  :y

hahahha! yeah I don't think the shocks helped but but they are done now. Even slightly damp conditions I literally have to crawl round a roundabout. They will be coming off asap and replaced with Rainsports :) - I have read about them on an old post- deathtraps. Thought I was a goner last week when I hit surface water!!  >:(

They do have one redeeming feature...

They never wear out... :D

Funny you should say that...........passed MOT today and the examiner commented that my front alignment may need done as slight wear on the tyre. He did comment that the back ones looked new so you are right !!! :) harder than a tree knot so im taking them off before I end up round one   ;D

I do find that auto-grips come in different guises, and the ones I have fitted suit my driving style, I don't require a skate-board set-up on my barge, I can still go round corners at the same speeds as I did before, even when its raining the special water. 8)
 also welcome back Mr dbug :)

Minus 10  :) :) :) ;D :D
