Tail happy beasts aint they

I took my fronty out yestrday in the wet(not had her long)and bloody hell dont they like stepping out.

I was warned about it before I bought it but never thought it would wag its tail so easily,im used to driving high perfromance cars(mainly Imprezas)but I could never get one to do it as well as this :dance:

I will admit though it was brown trousers time the first time it did it :oops:

ye mine use to step out very easy in the wet,ive put new wranglers on now all round and it sticks to the road like glue now :wink:

I have to say Iv never had a problem with the back end sliding out. Tyre choice and pressures can be an important factor here.

i think its grate fun :lol:

I have pretty new Enduro Runways on the rear, and they are scarey on wet roundabouts, especially if I have to brake.

Im running Nexen Roadial A/T at 30 psi all round thery where on the car when I bought it,they look pretty new.

Stick like pooh to a blanket in the dry

my 2.4 had kumo's on the back with about 4mm of tread left and it was all over the road

changed to futo ranger runners and it sticks to the road

ive now got a 2.0 sports and it holds the road well

I'm running Avon ranger 70 at 26 psi. I Am looking to change them for either general grabber AT2 £98 each fitted or BF Goodrich T/A KO all terrain £130 each fitted :oh yer:

I got cooper at's, 31x10.5x16 on my 3.2 and oddly it now has less grip than my worn colway at's. Must be the compound as the Colays wore very quickly.

I've found on other cars that if u use Michelins which are hard compound u can fish tail in the wet & in the dry, but if u use Goodyears which are soft compound they stick in the dry, stick in the wet, but as it just starts to rain n the road gets greasy u r all over the place.

Currently on 31x10.5x15 Kingpin MT. For a MT and a retread tyre they hold the road pretty well. Wear isnt so good though, mind you I do a fair bit off road with them and they are fairly noisy.

Best mixed tyre I ever had was my BF Goodrich AT's. Quiet and well mannered on road with great cornering ability due to the reinforced sidewalls and enough tread to get you through all but the gloopiest mud.

Best road biased tyre I had were pirelli scorpions. Excellent road manners and stuck like glue wet or dry.

Federal MS351AT. suprisingly good be it wet or dry and got a huge roasting off the other half for trying to spin the back end in a gravel car park, the tyres just dug in and she hit her head on the passenger window. Made things worse because I couldnt appologise for laughing.

I got Maxxis 31x10.5x15 Trepador's on mine and i can't really fault them in any weather.
I did have one moment on the way to Holymoorside at the W/End though, but i guess when you remove the back end of all it's weight this is gonna happen.
FUDDY MUCKER has the same tyres on a complete truck so i guess he would be a good comparison with my toy.
