I think it's more that people react differently to the way a tyre moves. Some people prefer a softer tyre that moves a bit more before it loses grip, others prefer something that sticks like glue but when it starts sliding it starts going quickly IYKWIM. FWIW it was 235/35/19 T1Rs that I had and liked, although they were part worn when I got them so not sure how they would have felt when brand new.

Got 35 profile tyres on mine (235/35/19) and they are better riding than the original 225/45/17s. Less tramlining and less road noise than the RE070s.

Funny what people get used to. I went the other way, had Toyo T1R's and swapped to Eagle F1's. I was the same as you... hated the new tyres, although after about a thousand miles I'm pretty much used to the F1s now and do quite like them. Think it was only the likes of Bridgestones that I liked the moment they were on the car without needing a bedding in period.

Woohoo... not only managed to get a limited print, but managed to get the limited packaging too Very much appreciated though... even one of the women at work I showed it too appreciated it (and that was before I unwrapped it )

Someone posted a link to a place online where you could get a frame made up to suit for about £36 I think (may be in the scottish scoobies thread about this). Had planned on taking mine (pus sizes) to a local place though, 'cos I thought it might look better with a mount as well as a frame (ie certain thickness of card around the pic, then frame around that) which would be hard to guesstimate easily... would be easier done at a frame place. Depending on costs, etc I'd probably just get it done there... if they were going to be OTT then I'd make sure I knew the size I wanted and size of mount so I could then order it online IYKWIM

Let me clarify that... I want MY OWN private airfield beside my house to play in

Not seen that one before I wanna private airfield and hangar to play with... not fair.

Mine arrived today Liked the little touch around the bubblewrap... I assume that's by your hand and not Grants (unless he's showing his feminine touch )

Dunno how bad yours is but the dual din one in the 06 STi is crap... no bass, etc from mine either. Would have thought that a decent aftermarket one would be a lot better than any of the scooby ones, new or old.

Pfff... get a life... you washed it this year already? easily can wait until next year

By worn more on the inside I mean that there looked to be plenty tread on the tyre on the outside... and just about canvas showing on the inside HUGE issue (had I been keeping the car )

Yup... While I can't claim to be the worlds best driver ('cos I'm too modest ) there are too many people that I see on the roads that who've obviously cut their licence out from the back of a cornflakes packet.

Yup... me too

Graphite would look better than silver IMO.

I guess at the end of the day you could bolt in struts made of wood or plastic and it'd still drive... but regardless of what I actually changed the suspension for now, I'd get the geometry checked just in case.

THAT important... No. Would I print it out and maybe frame it... aye... probably

Would imagine it would easily be drivable... although I'd suggest you check it out properly elsewhere as soon as you can. AFAIK when the P1 suspension was fitted to my old 94 the place fitting it didn't do geometery as such (which would explain when I traded it in a year or so later the tyres were WELL worn on the inside edge).

aye... I'd planned on using them as and when the STi was out of warranty... would probably have started to use them now seeing as T&C are now a service only subaru dealer and it'd be a hell of a lot easier using the one in Forres (normally got the old wagon done there when I was at my folks )

Ah... shows you how long it's been since I passed it then

Damn... wheres the <groan> icon gone?

Ummm no, Reekies was the other name for John Gray and Son, who were the subaru dealer (ex dealer) right next door to GT Tyres... currently a building site for god knows what (last time I passed thru' anyway.)

Yup, have used them a number of times when I was up there (esp when Reekies was next door).

" all of a sudden there was a car in my bed" Superb
