new tyres on very wet roads made it 'tricky' yesterday but they feel more substantial than the old boots - probs cos more rubber on them No plans to get geo done. fronts were both unevenly worn on the inside but I put this down to the camber set up.
Was considering putting the old rears in our support van for Le Mans ready for mad Friday!!!

Are you mad?! I'd get geo checked, mine were miles out on the front which caused uneven wear. No point spending your money on new tyres and not getting it done...

As it happens, i had a 4 wheel laser alignment but i dont think thats exactly the same! The fronts were way out of line which account for the inside been virtually bald!

Would like to a get a full geo set up but not sure if there is anyone up these parts than do it?

I've just had fitted 4 x Bridgestone RE050A and I must say they seem better than the old S02 - you don't feel the bumps in the road as much!
