04-08-2017, 09:35 AM #51think my Eagle F1 GSD3's on my fronts will just last the winter then i'm going to need some new ones in the spring. I'm really impressed with my FK452's on the rear and even when i'm clowning around the back won't step out with TRC off

Marsdendean See my Falkens 452's seam to slip a fair bit.
BTW chris, what tyre pressures did you recommend all around??
Thanks
I had 33psi in all mine mate, 35 (WIM recommendation) felt a bit too hard for me and the car seemed to drive a lot better on the lower pressure?
but try a few mate to see how it feels to you

I have part-worn 215/45s on my old 5-spoke OEM wheels. You'd be welcome to them if you can somehow collect them from me and take them off the wheels.

26-08-2017, 08:40 AM #56What wheels do you have Andy, the OEM 5-spoke ones ? If so, they're 7" wide and you can run 225s if you really want, but that's not exactly ideal (that's about the max you can run on a 7" wheel). If you do, you probably want to go 225/45.

Marsdendean No Problems. It may last you a few week if your really stuck. Why not stick the back on the front. I know it will be very slipery, but until you get the geo done your just going to kill tyres!
The backs are still very good do don't want to kill those and then have to get 4, i'll see if I can get another couple of weeks out of the fronts but they are right on the limit, hopefully the GEO will be done in a couple of weeks and I can treat myself to some newbies.
