Beginning to wish I'd kept my 17s now - the 14s have no grip, especially in the wet. Wheelspins in the wet on take off no matter how hard I try not to. Makes for a scary ride at speed - doesn't feel as stable as with the 17s..........I think the tracking needs doing, but anything else that could be causing the lack of grip? :undecided:
