tyres not condoms,what tyres are the top cars using?
been practicing starts and trying to get enough grip,too much
wheel spinning right through all the gears.lol
beginners hey.

nice set of soft compound slicks.lol.

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....

How about nice hard slicks... or some old road tyres... thats what I've got to choose from :p

don't use falkens if its forcast to be wet, i only have a 1 litre at the moment and i wheelspin on the spot in the wet unless i am careful!
could be the fact that i ahve tens though, or i just can't drive :p

ive got bridgestones, the soft ones. What they like? I know one thing, they wear down VERY quick!

forecast to be wet eh?

probably not, but if it is, don't use falkens,
if its dry then they are alright,

What do you reckon to the wear rate of them compared to A008's???
Just about to buy a set for the missus - but it'll be with a 105hp Vauxhall engine mini

i have had my falkens for about a year and a bit they have still got shed loads of tread and i have done lots of miles on them, i also drive quite hard.
i do only have about 35bhp though.
they will last longer than yokos though most probably,

i havent got many miles in mine at all and hardly ever get wheel spin. Tracking is all ok, but they are just so soft.

Those bridgestones are much better than 008s IMO.

Better in the wet and dry with good wear!

the other good thing about the falkens is that when i got a flat, it cost me ?22 for the tyre including fitting and balancing at a local place

and they had it in stock on the day, i called everywher and they were the only place that had 10 inch tyres in stock and the obly place to stock decent tyres like yokos etc..

There is a place just like that I use in Stockport...
