I love the racing Pumas. With Pumped arches the Puma looks really attractive.

Does the Racing puma suffer rusty arches too?

Not the front ones, they're alloy! smile

I think the outer ones are on the back, too, but I'm not sure how much of the inner arches exist under them.

Did I read somewhere that the archs from a Peugout 205 are a good fit for the rear archs.

I believe if you take out the naff carpet wheel arches which hold water and cause it to rust you can replace them with Megane rear arches if you flip them around or something along those lines. I believe there is something on pumapeople about it biggrin Pumas rock, I had a black 1.7 twas mentallllll best first car ever

Meanwhile, back on thread...

Garlick - what tyres is your Puma running? Rubber has a very pronounced on this car especially if you go from OEM P6000's on each corner to a full set of something decent. I had Michelin Exalto's all round on mine. Still completely benign at the limit... when you eventually found it hehe

Not Garlick's - Mine! wink

Currently some tatty Firestones - I think - will check today. They are terrible, though I want to run them down before I replace 'em - any recommendations?

Ahem - Riggers. Stick with the standard 195/15/50 and you'd do well to head to CostCo for the Michelin's. They do a deal on a set of 4. I assume one of you muppets has a card hehe

I just stuck with the 6000, these thing slide so nice when really leaning on them (awesome fun in the damp).

If you ain't sliding, etc smile
