XR50T

Thanks for the welcoming comments & I'll read through previous posts to learn a bit more. Can you tell me what tyre profile I need? Currently have 255 35 19 Pirellis on the rear that were put on by previous owner. Is that right? - don't want to throw the speedo out. Speedo lines up pretty right with the GPS unit at the moment I think. Mick

Looks like tyres are the first thing to change, appreciate the advice. I'm in Epping Sydney.

Thanks for the info guys, good to hear that's 'normal'. Original 50T 19" mags, previous owner had fitted 255 Pirellis but not a lot of life left in them so will get some new rubber to see if that helps as you recommend.. Have to admit, the first time I gave it a bootful, I yelled out F@@@@@ck & the first thing that came to mind is that this ute is a weapon. Yeh it's an auto (6 speed?) Thanks again

Hi, only just joined this forum & have only had my 2010 XR50T ute for a month & need some help. Really impressed by the acceleration of this weapon but had this happen a few of times & wanted to know if it's normal. If I accelerate hard, even when moving, car goes fine, no wheelspin, then after 40-50 metres it will start fishtailing or whip sideways without warning (no tyre screeching) scaring the sh*t out of me. I've owned quite a few V8 Falcons & Mustangs so know what good torque feels like but this is something else again. Could it be the combination of the turbo 'kicking in' & no weight over the rear wheels? Traction control & LSD don't seem to help. Appreciate any help/advice. Mick
