Just had some fitted to my Clio 182. OK it's wet and the tyres are new but I'm experiencing horrendous understeer/spin and I have probably already taken q a few microns off the rubber to get it past the new-tyre-rubber stage. Have I made a big mistake going for cheap?? Anyone had experiences with these tyres? I'm thinking of taking them back!

They sound like perfect drift tyres!

As a rull cheap tyres if you want outright grip are a big no-no. but, if you're not competing, you should go with cheap an cheerful as it's easier to replace. NEVER put cheap on the driven end and expensive on the non driven, because you'll exacerbate the imbalance.

Good advice thanks, oh how I have tried to get the back end out and now I have the perfect answer staring me in the face! Swapping ends it is then - I have Conti's on the back now so, particularly as I know how they make the car handle at the front, it's wise to swap them around. Regards Steve
