hi thanks for that the both of you, i was pondering as the change in car after 05 to the new style is vast ie 17,s and they fill the wheel arch,,i little thought here , when i bought the car tyres were low in air ie 23 so silly me pumped it up to 32 all round , jeeze o it was like dancing on ice in the wet plus let go on the dry ,then saw 26 was the right presure, .what a differance. haveing no traction control makes the car twitchy especialy in 3rd accelerating up, wasnt used to it but i think the lsd saved the back end popping right out, but then thats me , thanks guys
