Tyre placement

Fiat Coupe Forum
- Founded by Kayjey & James Northam
- Funded by the Club for the benefit of all owners

IMPORTANT NOTICE - Access to Technical Info on Forum
The original ethos of the Forum was to make technical information

including How To guides, FAQs, etc. available to all Forum members

without subscription, but in recent years we have seen a decline in

Club membership numbers whilst the costs for hosting the Fiat Coupe

Forum web site have increased. Club membership pays for the Forum and

provides other benefits, and to ensure the long term viability of the

Club and Forum, it has been discussed and agreed at the recent AGM that

the technical sections of the Forum should be accessible only to Club

members with a current subscription, starting from 01-January-2026.

owl10 Unregistered O	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... For some reason, not a lot of people seem to know this. Last edited by owl10; 07/08/2009 11:39.
