I failed MOT
But still I'm pleased as hell ![]() Mechanic was very pleased with the condition of my car. I failed on something totally stupid and something I knew.. DUMB TIRES... I know my tires were getting old, but I figured my rear tires would go first so I had checked them and they were ok enough so I didn't care to much... STUPID ME, Check the FRONT TIRES idiot!! Indeed, in normal circomstances the front tires wear less quickly as the rears, and so did mine, if it wasn't for the fact that today gave me another important clue to the understeering character of my car. The outer sides of the tires are warn while the innersides of the front tires still have plenty of profile left. Yups, Camber in the wrong direction..... So I eventually end up failing MOT on my front right tire with 1mm of profile left on the outer side and a maybe on left rear tire but here on the center profile that on some places was nearing the legal limit of 1.6mm. I have a week to put new tires on and return to get my MOT. I'm probably just going to lend Banpei's rimms just to pass the MOT because I'm not sure if I can order and get the new tires fitted in time. I've desided to put new rubber on the ATS rimms I got from Oldskull and run those and keep my current tires fitted on my stock rimms so I can use them for drift practice days. Ibrahim, what was the side of these rimms again? 15" right? What should I go for 195/65/15 or 195/60/15 I'm not going to wide, wanne keep the price around 50 euro's per tire. Anybody got advise for me on tire choice? I like the yoko's I've got but want to try something else. I was thinking about Falken or Toyo's. I'm thinking Falken, but should I then go for the 326 (195/65) or 512 (195/60). I've also desided I'm gonne get rid of my 13" wheels because I won't be needing them. I've got some pizzacutters with bad tires on em (check early pictures of my car), Terry's got first choice on those so I'll ask em if he still wants them before I put them up. They need to be painted. I've also got some wolfrace left over with OK bridgestone tires but 2 of these rimms are damaged on the inside. I'll let go of these cheap.
