hmmmmm..... thats alot of miles.

any idea what size? I am gonna try getting it off in a bit...

Yeh maybe i should slow down. Had a nice little blast chasing a bike yesterday, every corner/roundabout/bend the tyres were screaming.:eek: Wish I had my camera.

lol. How you doing mate? My Pe2s are long gone now, gone through some dunlop sport, now on contisport.

the rubber will go hard over time, so they will become brittle and crack and one day go pop while you are driving..... Best is to rotate rear to front as then the tyres wont be on long enough for this to happen. Rarely get more than 6000 out my front tyres.

tyres must have gone hard as they have been sitting in someones boot for a year or so.

These tyres are about 400 miles old now. Understeer is good fun, but PE2s are much better imo.

from my experience: contisport contact - same in wet and dry, but understeer alot. pe2s - very good in dry, not too bad in wet, probably on par with ^^^ yokohama A539 (i think that's what they are called) - s**t. next to try are the toyo t1r , can be had for around 50 quid a corner for...

may as well give it a go, will be a bugger to keep looking good though. Need to put another coat of red on mine soon. When I first did them... and when they are dirty....

cheers mate. Better start saving the pennies.

I am thinking of t1r 205/40/16 or 215/40/16 as they are dirt cheap compared to pe2s.

cool, I have no skill. Should be good at this then.:evil:

is it really close then...:o Wouldnt mind going there, but doubt they would do discount.

Over time the tyres go hard and crack, to be honest i would just bin them. Dont you find the back end goes light alot with these tyres on rear and having new tyres on front all the time?

I can get the wheels to spin in second easily, the wheels lock up easy when braking, and understeer round every corner. Only got these as i put two brand new alloys on front. Cant wait till i get back to PE2s.

Dont you put rears tyres to front every time your fronts are worn away?

DazG you are relatively local to me, shall we try and organise a group buy on setup. Should get a discount if at least two of us are up for it? Any good places down south?

Any good? I am tempted to buy the 50 quid one reduced from 100.

still selling, but want to enjoy the car while i still have it.

I dont mind helping out.:) Problem is setting the height is easy, getting it all setup correctly is the tough bit. Not sussed out my settings yet.

bump.

If things go pop in a clio, engines are relatively cheap, if you can fit it yourself.

The one with the spring on it. Is it a standard one? Mine has threaded and rattling like a b**ch!

use the spanners supplied for the front nuts. The lower of the two is the locking off one and the other is to adjust the height. Make sure you tighten them both up together as they will be stronger, dont want to risk threading the top one.

rears can be done without removing wheels, fronts cant be done easily...

I saw them, dont know what ppl are going on about?

cool, will have to be that then.:) Next job on my list is to set geometry up...

good advice.:rolleyes:

no no no! That is proper skillfull driving! how many times does he hit the limiter?

if not, you'll need to reflash it.
