Track wise, I'm often complimented on being very smooth even though I drive 10/10ths. I'm hardly a tyre screaming loon, if they're making noise, you're doing it wrong! So I don't think my style will get the tyres hotter than anyone else's.



I will concur with this statement when i was in the passenger seat it was like a Sunday afternoon drive, with helmets on.  :grin:
Very very fast no wheelspin, no twitching very smooth. ( i dont think he was trying hard enough to be honest  :innocent: )

My tyres have just been delivered  :jumpmove:

They look awesome, i'm in two minds whether to go get them fitted or save them untill the weathers a bit better.. I was giving it the big I am yesterday and now I don't know! Would it be a waste to put them on now?

....Methinks that would be a very wise move. The ESP can get twitchy over mixed tyres and differences in their construction.

Thats what I thought  :sad1:

Im very impatient but that said if i put them on around May time I'll get the summer out of them! I think I am going to look for another but I wanna keep them for the front and get twice as long out of them, I know people are scepticle about it but for how I drive I think it'll be ideal!

I want them on now though  :party: :signLOL:
