tyre advice for new member

[Teutonic_Tamer]

Based on info posted so far, can you mix PS3's with GY F1's? (Both asymmetric and only per axle of course). 

I'd personally be uncomfortable with that.  The Michelins have a far stiffer carcass compared to the GYs - this was evident on your car at JKM last weekend.  Even at slow-speed car park manovers, the sidewalls on the GYs were deforming quite alarmingly.

If you do wish to mix PS3s with GY F1s, stick the PS3 on the rear, and keep the squidgy F1s on the front.

If so, I can metamorphasise into Michelin man:

You can do, but you need to teach the man in white about the birds and the bees - a knee from behind is oh so wrong!

Start a new thread if you wanna go into more detail.

I don't regularly read EVO (or any other motor mags) and I didn't see any reports of what you say. Doesn't mean there weren't any but only that I completely missed them. So no need to serve any ostrich insinuations. C a l m . . . .

....I wish you'd shown me about my F1 tyre walls at JKM. However, my car does corner quite well but it would appear it might do so even better on PS3's.

I always put the pair of new tyres on the rear. Cheaper to buy 2 tyres at a time than 4 and the fronts wear out quicker.

Ta for the advice

Hmmmm . . . the Evo issue was very earnestly discussed (with links or images of the article) on the GolfGTI.co.uk forum - before this place existied.  Maybe that weed of your youth damaged your grey matter!

....Absolutely no regrets about my youth! I never saw the discussions you refer to... Simples.
