Some questions for you knowledgeable chaps about my car:

B230E: Can run on both leaded or unleaded. Apart from hurting children, is there any advantage in leaded petrol? Similar question for whether I should use super, given the ratio is 10.3:1 or close to that anyway.

Tyres: When I come to changing tyres, any paticular recommendations? Any advantage in any of the recommended sizes over others? 185/70 on atm btw.

Fastest Acceleration: Autobox (ZF). For fastest acceleration should I just floor it, or shift manually?

Handling: This is more of a generic car question, but how do I encourage less of a tendency towards understeering?

Thank you for your time...

I run unleaded in my B230E. I dont know what the advantages are in leaded petrol (if any) but mine runs sweet on unleaded

As for tyres, i'll check what size mine are in the morning, and tyres, ive just got cheapo £35 a corner jobs on.
