Chaps,
Ph1 172. Lightly modified.
Obviously, standard we use 195/50/15s - but I got given a nearly new set of Bridgestone Potenza RE01-R' in 55 profile - Which got fitted.
They grip nicely, and wear well. So quite pleased.
Now comes the time i look at my suspension, handling etc - Eibach Sportlines have just been purchased etc.
BUT what i want is you guys opinion if you think im wasting my time a bit, running on a 55 profile tyre, i.e. too much side wall flex etc? Having never driven a 172 on 50 profiles, i have nothing to compare too. The car doe sometimes seem a little floaty, but IMO thats just down to worn shocks/old springs.
Would you guys still run on them AND if so, what tyre pressures for fast road?
Cheers!
