Hello again people,

Seems im posting on here alot lately!

Following on from another post, I have 2 Pirelli Courier Tyres (both nearly new) and 2 BF Goodrich G-force Profilers (1 new) and my question is shall I put which tyres, to get the best handling?

Cheers Joe

You should always put the better tyres on the rear. when the fronts need replacing move the ones from the rear forward and put the new ones on the rear.

and reapeat.

for the reason why....

clicky - excuse annoying american accent.

although i'd have explained it as you can go faster round a corner before the back wants to step out... tongue laugh

For some reason, not a lot of people seem to know this.
