Fronts - T1s's required

Post by Andy G » Thu Apr 12, 2007 10:19 pm

Hi guys

Dont suppose anyone has a set of S1's front t1s's that still have a wee bit of life left that they'd like to donate do they?

Foundmy front and rear tyre combination is effective if you want to understeer as the fronts go off really quickly and have way less grip :oops: :D

I have AO39s : 2 front 195/50/R16 --- Lots of miles left in them
Took them off the s1 exige last month.

Not sure if that helps or not tho :lol:

Hi Jim
I've got r15's on the front unfortunately. That would have been ideal otherwise!

Many thanks

I was lifting off completely and it was still wasn't going sideways - the hairpin required turn in under hard braking, and then hopping off the pedal, to get the back out until the fronts then squirmed lost grip and the rears regained theirs :evil:

Did managed a few sideways manouvres though :D
