You really need 2 sets.
1, super sticky for fast road & track use (Mar-Oct).
2, winter tyres (Nov-Feb/Mar) as nothing comes close to these in the wet or cold weather.
Did the springs & Rodders told me you will be back for a coilover kit, as usual he was not wrong.
They make the car 'look' good, see my build thread on Nutz.
On track the limits soon become apparent & on road day to day items like speed ramps can become a pain.
I even had uprated ARB's to try &...
Don't bother with spacers just get better offset wheels.
Don't bother with springs as you will ruin the ride & end up crashing on speed ramps, you may boff on bumpy roads due to seasickness ;)
Based on me doing 7000 miles!

The amount of grip for what you pay is why these are a no brainer.
I don't know of many tyres that switch on straight away like these do.
You can come out on track & hammer it down craners at Donington from the off no warm up.
Supprising good in the wet as well.

Awesome bit of kit, have them on mine.
Someone mentioned acf50 I have some bottles of corrosion block is this the same stuff?
Which is all rubbish as has been proven before.
The max5 race series use these as control tyres & no problems whatsoever.
These guys race on them not pussy round doing a few trackdays.
The cracks people report & panick at actually wear away as the m3 photos from before showed.
The photos of the...
Top chap Clive.
Doing some research with my mk3, playing with maps etc.
Not expecting much but anything is better than nothing.
Was not having a pop on either forum.
Just seen too many jump into hyper power cars & not end well.
See you have been Fid before, thought you were Clio going to...
I would leave the power alone for now & learn to use what it has.
I was designed to run all day long & be safe.
Even after nearly 3 yrs Phil was still finding the limits. He goes racing & can drive.
If you have found the limits after a week this will not end well.
Anyone can drive fast in a...
Thats Pauls, then Phils old car. Phil beat me to it by hours 2 1/2 yrs ago.
I heard the car spent 3 days on the rollers & live mapping to perfect it.
Your right what you paid would not pay the bill for the engine.
Phils joining me in the mk3 revolution ;)
