Esp OFF!

[R32UK]

Am I correct in thinking your tyres will ware down faster with it off?

I would say a defo yes! I could smell the rubber when I got out of mine yesterday... not normally possible with the esp on. But I guess thats what you expect doing 45 round a RA

Thats the only off putting thing, at £125 a corner its not cheap for a set of new rubber.

just cuz ESP is off, doesnt mean you have to drive it hard.....

I have 11k from my tires so far and literally no wear. I was expecting to get about 20k from this set.. now that I have discovered non-esp mode,  i think i should seriously reduce that estimation. But as Steve said there is no need to drive it hard, it just with this window down weather it quite difficult

[SteveS]

and the tishhh noise for us GTI'ers and the v6 noise for you R32'ers :p

[AlanD]

Iv been a complete pikey and not used to A/C so far as I don't my consumption to drop so I have sunroof and windows down and that noise is just brilliant, I wonder if you get bored of it after a while?

With this new discovery then R32UK, does that mean you'll be posting a few more victories in the 'What car have you beat in your GTI ...?'

[SteveS]

[R32UK]

LoL... its always the case I guess. It must just be that people see us and think, hes young driving a quick car... lets see if he knows how to use it

Dont think the backwards cap, windows down and full vol 2pac n Biggie do much to help!
