i think you will when you have to buy a new set in a couple of months
they are amazing tyres though, what size are they?
i would keep a proper road set of wheels/tyres for the winter coz iv used a set of 888 over the winter months, lets just say salt reduces grip on a wet road by up to 30%, even more with a semi slick!!
have you got any camber/castor adjustment, i noticed a big difference with those tyres after increasing both angles

gary

forgot to say, if anyone was thinking about getting a set of these or similar then do it asap coz i read somewhere that these sort of tyres might well be banned from 2012
well not banned but they cirtenly wont be road legal

gary

there 195 50 15 gg what i mean is i will never buy another type of tyre in my life apart from these bad boys

gg is the medium compound innit?

yea

update fitted my laguna splitter today and fixed my door and wings are no longer blue also finished the main part of the welding need more gas

its the little things that count



hate orange lenses and long plates that was pissing me off for ages looks heeps better now in my eyes

are those wheels 14"?

no got 195 45 15s on so they look a bit small there the same wheels as garndis car literally i HATE 45S but all i got at the min


steve

i know what you mean about the 45`s, lots of crash,bang and understeer
i only switched to 50`s coz i found a good deal and havnt looked back since

gary

4x 195 50 15 toyo t1r £130 delivered off of ebay if anyone is looking good tyres and not really that expensive i have not used a beter road tyre [apart form r888]

steve

rust is gone on the outside of the sills now onto the inside

its a good deal if you know a friendly tyre fitter
iv never tried the t1r iv got some t1s atm but they were bargin basement cheap

t1r is good i would say thats what my 45s are so when i get the 50s they will be even better yea dont cost me a penny to fit my tyres my mate does it/ lets me use all the stuff lol

steve

p.s how is your gripper diff have you compared with any others steve

well i aint got a spare 500 here and there to compare mate
iv driven road cars with std lsd`s and they wernt as effective as the gripper
the only downside is that you will need some arms on you and the horible clunck that happens at very slow turning speeds like a carpark, iv had some funny looks coz of that
but the traction you get is amazing, even on these types of roads we have atm
well round here anyway, we havnt had any of the snow etc that the rest of the country has had

gary

ah very good im considering a pg diff kit thing heard there ok in a straight line would rather a gripper but dont want to spend too much as it will eventually have the awd box just need something for when i bolt on the turbo to keep it from blowing up straight away lol


steve

not to sure on them, iv seen pictures, thats about it realy
if your that desperate you could always try 2nd hand

i would happily buy a second hand diff but only clutch type so i could rebuild it just finding one is the prob


steve

cuscos are clutch type arnt they?
have you tryed jp yahoo
i dont think they have ebay over there

yea new they are £680 no second hand ones at the minute

steve

i saw one on there a couple of months ago, it went for 40,000, i aint got a clue how much that is but a new one on there is 90,000

it continues been on holt for 2 weeks cause of the weather otherwise would have had more done but what can ya do






and one after a wash from the good side lol

thats looking lovely mate

slowley but surley really needs some paint
