Nowt wrong with T1R's for the price. V12's are a decent tyre. Never tried the RS2.
Eagle F1 is where its at, not sure they make them in 15"/16" anymore.
Have you Looked at Toyo R1R??
Yep sounds like diff, could poss be wheel bearing, altho they make more of a grumbling sound than a whine.
Without hearing it is hard to say how long it will last, ive drove cars on knackered boxes for months. Depends how far gone it is.
Do you mean the motor spins freely by hand? That doesnt mean its working, With the heaters on full id be checking for 12v and an earth at the motor connector. Probably find the motors packed in.
No mate i wasnt having a go, it was an earlier post that said not to use copper grease, in which i agree to an extent but i dont think copper grease has ever made a bolt come out ever.
I understand the theory, and yes a smear of copper slip would reduce friction thus making making your 100nm slightly more, but in the real world it doesnt matter.
You could probably torque a clio wheel nut to 200nm and the thread wouldnt strip, how many garages do you think actually torque...
A little smear of copper grease wont affect wheels bolts at all, total nonsense.
If youve been driving with bolts loose theres a chance theres damage to the bolt thread / hub thread or even the wheel itself so check throughly.
Make sure you torque them when done, 100nm iirc.
