Just ordered new boots

[karl_h]

Wasn't expecting to get them this early but looks like alignment is out on passenger rear and I've got some pretty bad wear outer edge wear on that one tyre.
On plus side got pointed towards tyreleader.co.uk and I've paid £388 for a set of rear 19" Michy pilot super sports can't fault that.

That's why he has bought new boots, so he doesn't have to walk on the moss with his bare feet.

Paid £342.38 for a pair on Thursday sans fitting, presume you paid for fitting?

[karl_h]

Unfortunately not this is just shipped. But I think the prices change very regularly on there, mate that showed me the site bought a pair of RE050 that had dropped £35 a tyre in 2 days.

Only a pair, won't last you very long

The fronts still look brand new

I never bothered rotating the wheels as I prefer the OZ's on the front. Cam 1st then some new wider wheels....

Shows how much I bothered looking. Have you got standard VXR wheels on the rear then?

Yeah

The rear OZ's are a 265 width but a funky offset so even with much rolling of arches they still touch on the drivers side.

TBF mine does squat a huge amount under WOT and I was using 265/35/19 MPSS which are very wide AND square which wouldn't have helped. Might try them again with a 265/30/19 MPSS and see if that sorts it

Think the ultimate solution is a mini tub and some lightweight forged wheels running at least a 285 MPSS...

245's are great especially with 770 foot pound of torque!

285's might over tyre it, would definitely need more power in that case as I quite like the borderline traction mine has on WOT

Yeah but until you've driven mine you won't understand what I mean. Grip and go is dull and predictable, I like a bit of slip and slide

Think mine with another 150 - 200 RWHP and 285's would be perfect and exactly like I have now on the 245's
