Service today... nanodrive 5w40 which seems to be working very well as there was virtually zero wear on the cam follower.

Its amazing how much quieter these cars are after a service.  :smiley:

Good to hear +ve review on the millers

Was at Cadwell park in the wet with Neil P, he had Yoko's (Advan Neova) I 'think' they where ado8. They where great in the wet.

Are ao48 the full on semi slicks?

Well i paid 100 quid for a set of 4... admittedly they are quite well scrubbed, but fine for a giggle in the dry


Even with the stiff side walls the ride is tons better than on the 18s....  :popcornsoda:

Cool - nice to see the 345's squeeze under there too.  Might consider a set of 17s for winters, as the price of decent 18inch winter rubber is daft.

I'm running the S3 set up and 17" Classix as winters aswell. Like you say tyres are a fair bit cheaper.

Plenty of space with 17s and '32 stoppers..



Any OEM wheel you'll be fine it's when you put silly wheels on (like my Mercs!  :grin:) that you get problems
