Although I wouldnt claim to be an expert (I have been drag racing just the once), theres a saying amongst the quarter-mile fraternity: "If you see the green light, youve lost". A bit different from traffic lights LOL!

IMPORTANT NOTE!! If anyone really hates their Contis I will buy them if theyve done less than 2000 miles. Drop me a PM if you have any!

.... and youre not the only one to get rid of the Contisports either J. Roamer did the same thing. Theres obviously a lot of personal choice in this. I like a tyre that lets the car slide a bit (weird cos its not the fastest way to get round a corner!). Off to Donington Park tomorrow though, and...

"Wall of Death in a Wok" LMAO!!

Stu - I changed mine at 7,000 but that was after a track day and a motorsport academy day (the academy day was by far the worst for tyre wear). I agree with your sentiments about the Contisports, they are very predictable on the limit. They do get hot quite quickly on the track though, but...

BB - theres something amiss with the car by the sound of it. Get it checked by your Renault dealer. Another idea is to see whether you can get a test drive in a different 172, then you can compare. 172s handle really well - weve proved this over and over at track days etc. You should expect no...

A packet of 20 B&H can achieve the same effect..

Id be amazed if you cant get some to fit. I suppose you could always buy some and try them out. As long as you havent lowered the car a lot I cant see that it would be much of a problem.
