I guess in Oz its the other way round.

Well they are upside down! Lol

Got 2 bridgestones re050's for £85.00 each all in from Formula 1 . There advert says 85.00 and an additional charge for fitting balancing etc but charged me £85.00 each which was good . Also bought a new battery from them for £50.00 . Superb service .

Ive seen some pretty good evidence (testing at MIRA) that the grippiest tyres should always go on the rear irrespective of whether its front or rear wheel drive . The reasoning being that for a FWD car with best tyres on the front, if you go too fast into a tighter than expected corner and then lift off the extra turn in together with the unloading of the rear due to weight transfer will cause the rear tyres to loose grip because being worn they cant match the front ones and then you spin. With RWD, lifting off effectively puts a brake to the rear tyres which being worn loose grip faster than then fronts and again you loose the back end.

I guess in Oz its the other way round.

I learnt from experience by spinning a car! Got the wheels swapped front to back, and put up with the understeer.

An interesting point is that it should be the grippiest tyres on the rear. When I had the spin, the ones that I had on the back (Yokos) had loads of tread, but were rubbish in the wet compared to the fronts (Bridgestones).

Check out this video, explains why new tyres should be put on the rear of the car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5YsQ_a_ijA

I also learnt the hard way after I nearly stuffed my Alfa on a roundabout, the tyre company had put the new rubber up front, but even though the rear tyres were still legal and had plenty of tread te difference was amazing.

Always, always on the front!

I'd rather over, than understeer!
