Best thing to do would be get a lone of some standard 17's for a few days and see if there is a difference. I think you will notice it right away Over and out!

Tyres are not great but they will do you a turn to at least try them out. I have a track day on March 15th so if you want to try the 17s ma man, you can, just as long as I get them back a couple of days before the 15th. You might also want to try a change to your geometry. In standard trim the Scoob is set up to understeer. The reason for this is that it is easy to correct by simply lifting off. However, oversteer is not so easy. It's a kind of fail-safe measure to protect new Scoob drivers from thinking they are invincible behind the wheel of their new car, so I have been told.
