would ur petrol engined car run on diesel??
no! why??......cos it was designed 2 run on petrol.

m8, u obviously do not have a clue......
no one is saying that tyres from this year are less superior than a tyre from 10 years ago.....wot is being stated (and u do not need evidence or scientific proof 4 this, just the ability 2 think logically), is that renault designed/tested/developed the...

wot the f**k???????
why is it that every time i give reply that people dont understand, or looks theoretical, i get slated??
i have no books!! god damn, can some1 not have it upstairs??!!
it is wot i have learnt
and because im not a r****d, i can remember/understand wot i learn
its mainly slip angle that is effected, since slight differences in the tyres give differnt lateral acceleration under loadings (i.e.loadings changing due to differences in tyres).
yes ben, but theres going round a corner, and theres going round a corner
yes u can change the system. but its not as simple as changin is it. its about development.
BEN---i know its not a miracle tyre but it is the tyre that the set-up was developed around. that counts for a lot!!!
just 2 make myself clear (listen up martin!):
its not about wot tyre is better!!
tyres are different even within the same brand/compound.
wot do YOU mean by set-up?? if it is just 2 make the car gan round a corner, then u r mistaken
ahhh....!!
its not about wot tyre is better!!
its about wot the system was designed to use. its was designed/tested/developed with michelin rubber, therefore it should use michelin rubber
yes, but since they cant get near the limits, how can they benefit from increasing them. im not talking safety, im talking about how the vehicle actually handles.
martin-
its not about right or wrong. its about keeping the suspension set-up within the original parameters. its not wrong 2 use...
weight-
i also think the other point he was making was that the standard set-up would be superior than a normal driver would ever require. ever.
do u honestly think that 99% of williams owners can drive their car hard enough to warrant coil-overs etc. let alone be able to feel the benefits...
i think the point king is makin is that renault spent a great deal of time and effort developing the williams suspension set-up. the tyre choice was the michelin, maybe the best in its day? now, because the set-up was designed round/used this specific tyre, it will not perform the same with any...
