Then the car is ready for Bakewell! Need new tyres for them roads can really enjoy them now.




im thinking of putting my avons on the rear wheels and the cheap crap thats on the rear on the front... could i in theory go round a corner and the good tyres grip and then the rear ones may not...





iirc , tyre places are supposed to put new/better tyres on the back of the car ,it could well be law actually , some people hum but in therio its easer to correct under steer (slow down !!) than over steer




haha You love to disagree with me don't you! I am just saying from experience at the weekend Dan, as we have front wheel drive cars is best to have good tyres on the front as thats where the power and steering comes from. I have Pirelli P Zero on the back (new) and PARADA on the front.

Yep Little Miss Mix n Match is what the bf calls me. I've got P Zero Nero on the back and T1R on the front. I found the Parada Spec 2 way too quick wearing for my liking. I like these Toyos and the Pirellis

Yes sounds nice and balanced! I like the Pirelllis on the back, nice and sturdy! Looking forward to the PARADA loads of good reviews, if they are quick wearing it gives me an excuse to try some other tyres lol

in all honesty mate im not! i was just pointing out that what dan the man said was a good idear , i read it some where , and iv just found it on michelins website ,

http://www.michelin.co.uk/michelinuk/en/car-van-4x4/less-worn-tyres-rear/20070314172074.html

now im honestly not having a go , but if they dont know what there talking about then we are in trouble lol

and stu , if your into driving fast , be where , the back might step out because the pradas will have alot more grip and you will be able to take corners alot faster! , remember if the back comes out plant it! lol

They feel AMAZING! Got the tracking done as well and I must say the grip is truly awesome! They feel like slicks! Fantastic.....I have had some fun already, now washing the car and when complete (around 8pm) the pics will go up!
