S2 Sports Tourer - Need Rear tyres......
Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2007 11:37 pm
What do i do?
The fronts are the standard Bridgestone RE040's 175/55/16's
The rears are bald Michelins (225/45/17's)
What i probably will do is buy a 2 x RE040's to match the fronts.... however,
A few months ago i read that someone put a set of 4 Yoko's on & said the cars handling improved imensely.
However, i cannot afford new fronts & the current ones have 6mm.
My last car, (A Westfield Megablade) had Yoko A048's all round & they were incredible. When they warmed up, they were as sticky as a half chewed Fruit Pastel.
I was thinking of puting Toyo R888's or Yoko A048's on the rear & eventually putting a 195/?? on the front eventually.
Anyone know how it would handle with Sticky A048/R888 on the rear & RE040's on the front?
Thoughts please.........
