That's the sign of a good driver as you shouldn't have to be heavy braking very much!

Getting paid to drive your car isn't a bad thing. At least you get paid to enjoy it  :cool:

Not washing it in 6 months though, well what can I say.... That's a bit lazy  :tongue:

Covered 50,000 miles in my ownership  :smiley:

Ran my winters for about 6 weeks but had the 18's put back on today. Had to have two new tyres though as the Eagle F1's were just about legal......managed to get approx 12,000 miles out of them which is 3K less than the Vreds I ran previously  :undecided:

Was going to get more Vreds but my tyre place had a good deal on UniRoyal rainsport 3 's so those are sitting on the rear  :smiley:

Also had the alignment checked and amazingly no adjustment was needed  :shocked:

Even washed and hoovered it at the weekend. Needs a good detailing session though  :sad:

Yeah put them on at the beginning of Feb as temps plummeted and the monsoon conditions were putting the F1's at the very limits of their ability

Been looking at stuff to actually do to it rather than just drive it  :lipsrsealed:

Ok so since fitting the F1's to the front and the new UniRoyals to the back it appears im unable to go round right hand corners without the TC and ABS kicking in  :huh: :undecided:

As soon as I try to accelerate it kicks in. Normally id get a bit of scrabbling but then the tyres would dig in and away i go. Now the front end just wants to wash out all the time

Will check pressures in the morning (rechecked wheel bolts yesterday after it happened!)

Thoughts??  :undecided: never had this type of problem before when fitting new tyres / different brands

Is it possible they have snagged the wiring so when on lock is triggering the systems?
