V. Pleased with new tyres
« on: February 01, 2006, 22:04:10 »
So the tyres have been on for a day now and I'm so happy with them


I went for 235/70 R16s which aren't much bigger than the old ones but having new grip they seem to fill the wheel arches better.

Even better they appear to have stopped the 60-70mps wheel wobble I used to experience, though thats probably down to balancing rather than anything else.  Also a lot quieter and I did a skid test on the sma estretch of road, before and after and its as huge difference, soooo much better grip.

I have the 235's on mine but they do catch on the radius arm on the passenger side when on full lock to the left, I probably need to adjust the steering bump-stop at some point.
If I could only find some mud to play in, I would be as happy as the preverbial pig!!!
