Car was just starting to get difficult to drive then replaced bald rear tyres (Contisport SSR2) which made it even worse (forgot to ask them at the garage to put the new ones on the front).

At the weekend I swapped the new tyres to the front and the 8,000 milers to the rear and now I remember why I like this car so much....

If only I could sort out that notchy gearbox, get a couple of inches more legroom, a rear view mirror I can see things out of and some nicer wheels and it would be perfect....
 
I didn't think it was possible to swap tyre between axels on these cars my rears are 265 30 19 and fronts are 235 35 19
 
I have 17" wheels - same front & back. I've learnt in the past that it is essential to have good tyres on the front to avoid the tramlining. The rears are OK until very warn (it just gets a bit more tail happy and prone to wheel spin esp in the wet).

It's one of the things that has held me back from putting nicer wheels on it i.e. that rears tend to be wider.
