[quote=Matt2107]i used to race a mini when i was 15 and always lost to the same lad. so i set my car up in every way the same as his except the 1 thing i couldnt afford TYRES!!! he was always quicker on the corners cos he had the grip. so im pretty sure its down to tyres and thats why i wanna set of new ones. speaking to a local tyre company about a sponser at the moment so hopefully will get them on the cheap.Quote:

You have to bear in mind that your experience is with the Kuhmo tyres attached to a high power, 4WD, homologation rally course refugee, not a light little FWD Nova lolQuote:

And 4WD doesn't really suffer torque steer like a fwd would...
As do I now that I've got rid of the Nova, we must be getting old lol:thumb:Quote:

KU31's are V popular with us gay mid engine lot :)
My brothers Mk1 Golf GTI handles extremely well on Kuhmo EcstaQuote:
