New Boots and Panties.
Discussion
Well I can finally throw away the pants and stop wearing the brown trousers I've been wearing since I bought my Elise. Slithering around on the P zeros is no more (finally worn out the rears and the tyre fitters gave me £15 for the fronts) and a set of BF Goodrich G Force Profilers now sit proudly on the wheels. Got lots of funny looks driving the few miles home as I weaved around trying to scrub them in a bit.
First impressions. Is the ride better - seems to be, and perhaps quieter too. First roundabout - one that nearly had me exiting backwards in the wet a few weeks ago - in with not even a trace of understeer and as I put the power down no slithering from the rear: the tyres just dug in and asked for more. WOOOOOPEEEEEE!!!
Downside. Having spent six months and 10k miles learning how to drive my car on the P Zeros I've now got to relearn on proper tyres.
Finally a Big Up for Performance Tyres of Plymouth. Treated the car as if she where their own - checked on jacking points, wheels torqued on by hand,
wheels cleaned!!! and asked what tyre pressures I preferred. Well done boys
