just noticed that all the tyres are fcuked, so need 4 new ones.

got some time off work shortly, dad is getting another car so i can use his old one, so i am gonna clean/fix up the corsa and it will be properly for sale.

can't be arsed to keep it as a project to learn on and modify the engine etc, it'll never happen

may sell some bits off it if anyone wanted something, theres not much

Are they just soft Phil? Got proxes on mine atm and the only tyres I've ever found to last well were Avon ZVs or BF Goodriches.

Yeh they're really soft. Camber probably doesn't help. Need to have it re-set again though. When I take the coilovers off for their 6-month rebuild and grease-up I'll have it done

Matty, do you use T1-R's or T1-S's? I used the T1-R's from last summer to January, and they were really good. T1-S's seemed to wear a hell of a lot faster.

that was the T1-Rs, I just swapped them for a set of T1-Ss not long ago! So you think these T1-Ss might wear alot quicker then
