i was speaking to paul at avon park, he said he couldn't use it on the motorway as it blew from side to side, if you ever had a chance to look at pauls car, the craftmanship is amazing, from the hand formed ali rocker cover to the machined clutch arm....its very very very light!

Can anyone explain to me how you can stay stable on such high tyre pressures at the low weights quoted. OK I am talking about a different car and tyres,but my car weighs about 700kg and on 155x13 tyres any more than 22 lbs and it gets too lively for comfort.I have set it up for lots of safe understeer and as soon as I raise the pressures it goes in to unstable oversteer.BTW it is RWD. |
