You will get optimum wear grip and handling at my settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will always pick the ride quality before they notice the performance of the said car. It's an old trick, especially in the used car market.

The 17" Dunlops actully suffer from sidewall splitting you can get them under warranty from dunlop if you put a claim through a dunlop supplier.

Well, tyres are supposed to be round aren't they? So it makes sense to me. But how did you come to have a '5' in there? Not much of the '5' is actually round. I like the '3' though. It is really nice. '8's are even better. I can look sideways at an '8' and it reminds me of what I see laying in bed beside me. I've always believed '0's to be a nice round number. And if you get a pair it is doubly good. So something like 00 in the front and 0 in the rear should work fine.:spoton: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
