Bizarrely, the most difficult bit was explaining to the fitter on the day what I wanted.
I said “can you put the new ones on the rear, and move the rear ones to the front”. It made sense to me, but it took 4 attempts to explain it, over a 10 minute period.

Re: Tyres fitted to front or rear
Having considered it all, we’re going for the new on the rear. On balance, there are far more for that than against, the reasoning makes sense, and there is lots of depth on the rears still.
Thanks for the input.

Re: Tyres fitted to front or rear
When the conditions for which you bought the tyres prevail, would you choose to have more grip at the front axle or the rear? David My initial thought was more grip at the front. But then I thought that IF it’s going to go, understeer maybe more desirable than oversteer, so more grip at the rear is...

Re: Tyres fitted to front or rear
Best tyres on the rear is the recommendation from the manufacturers. Reason is understeer is easier to control than oversteer. Would you say this applies equally when they are all season tyres/winter tyres, or perhaps even more so. The advice online is conflicting. Even Michelin say it’s not black ...

Tyres fitted to front or rear
My partner has a Toyota Yaris with 4 all season tyres fitted. The 2 front ones need changing due to wear. She is having 2 all season tyres fitted, and was going to put them on the front, but the garage advised her to put the better ones on the back, swapping those to the front. She’s asked me for ad...

I was browsing.
Was this ever resolved, or is the 'interesting case of stories substantially altered' still ongoing?

Re: Potential downside of speed enforcement?
I know I'm late to the party (not the first time, and it wont be the last). I cant help but think that the study was designed to give the exact results that they wanted. Which it did. It's been designed to give an absolutely obvious result, that's as clear as the nose on your face, then cloaked it i...

Re: Uh-Oh . . . Trouble in the stable :)
If I'm going to follow these forums in 2018, I'm going to have to buy a car with much more complicated tech than the standard engine and clutch I've got now. I know that it all makes sense to you guys, and it is my ignorance that is letting me down, but all I can hear is "wah wah wah wah wah&qu...

Re: Santa list?
Nah! Won't happen, unless the President finds an equally bumbling ally, possibly one desperate for a 'friend' and easily influenced, with an incompetent leadership. A country, perhaps an island, that has become cut off and friendless. Just can't see it happening myself. Please please keep this topi...

Re: Survey
I agree, that like so many surveys, we sometimes want an "it depends" answer, and, in my opinion, some of those answers probably have nothing to do with political opinion/allegiance. But thank you for giving up your time to look at it Agreed. However, I completed the questionnaire purely ...
