New tyres go on rear regardless of which wheels drive .. and in my local fitters, there are plenty of signs to tell clients that!

Wasting your time, its been done to death already
Let the fools do what they want.

#49: Re: best tyres for gti 180 Author: crocdino, Location: LeedsPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:52 pm ---- I always swap them round so they all wear out together.. That way always put 4 new ones on together.
I only do it so all 4 match... I'd hate to need 2 new tyres and not be able to get 2 to match what's on.

Okay-ish for the first season, but complete rubbish in the beginning of second especially in the rain . I will replace them with Federal 595rsr, but I doubt many of you UK folks are going to buy it as it's a "semi slick" tire

#52: Re: best tyres for gti 180 Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 2:34 pm ---- 595SR is one of the worse choices....
in fact i don't trust chinese tyre at all

In a braking test by the time the Continental Sport Contact 3 had stopped, the Accelera tyre was still doing 20mph.

Its called lazyness, a lot of places are to lazy to fit the adaptor for the centreless rims on the wheel balancing machine.
