, on dunlop sport Maxx tyres ( standard),

any suggestions?

Change your tyres for either Michelin Pilot Sport PS2: http://www.michelin.co.uk/uk/front/affich.jsp?codeRubrique=20060215151339, or Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2: http://www.michelin.co.uk/uk/front/affich.jsp?codeRubrique=20060301144538 - both will give you much better low speed comfort, and both are a considerably better tyre than the Sh!tMa . . . sorry, SportMaxx!

Strange as I'm finding the Dunlops a farly quiet tyre, what do you mincers Blokes  :wink: find to be the problem.

Probably down to all that extra lard weight the R32 has to carry arround!  :wink:  :grin:

Actually, the Dunlops are a reasonably quiet tyre - it's just that they are shyte in the handling, comfort, traction and braking departments!

And that will help with traction!

It certainly wont help with handling, comfort and braking!  :nerd:

That's a good point, I wonder in the Haldex helps with engine braking to the rear, on over run.

Nope, because when all four wheels are rotataing at the same speed, the Haldex disengages drive to the rear axle!
