Yep, that's it, Keith. It's just the penalties that have changed so people are trying to get their heads around a law that is anything but new. Just shows they should have paid attention the first time round. Still, I guess it may have the desired affect!

Interesting, but, not on the list. Maybe next year?

The AD08? It's a discontinued tyre, that I don't think should be in the 1A list. It's successor the AD08R is in list 1B.

What were you going to go with? Guessing Contisport 6?

I shall remind him it is a static show and confiscate his keys on arrival.

It doesn't say PS4, therefore it isn't in the list. It doesn't say 'the Pilot Sport range in general is allowed', it lists specific tyres. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be in the 1A list which is where I would expect it to fall. But not on the list means it hasn't been classified, so technically you can't use it.

If that's the 2017 list, Kev, the PS4 isn't on it? Bit bloody hard to see though, have you got a link for it?

That's not so bad then. Forgot Tay has silly sizes on his one.

Yeah, there's the rub, £520 for a set of tyres is a lot compared to £320 for the Yoko Advans. I expect they're better, but £200 better?

Sunday 12th March 9.45am. It really needs an individual thread started in the calendar.

Yes, I agree, but it needs to be on the list. I guess it will be in 1A, we just need the list out to confirm it.

Ah the aluminium one? The sump guard then! Sounds like it wasn't on properly. That shouldn't happen.

Was that the undertray, you mean? How did you manage that?

V105's are £80 inc VAT per tyre. About the same probably with fitting.

Is the MSA tyre list out yet for 2017? I can't find it. PS4, isn't on the 2016 list

How much were they? Also go for the extra load option if there is one, to help have a stiffer sidewall.

I think they will be, less so for the track though. Sidewalls are too soft which is the other thing. Your choice etcetera.

Have you not got a friend who has aligned a bonnet before who could help you? I've had the bonnet off my AE86 a few times now when I've had the engine out and it's not difficult to line it up. As Hubert said, just slacken the bolts off and have wiggle, it's not hard to do.

I've not tried the PS4, though everyone seems to be raving about them. I like the Yokos because they still allow you to play with the chassis, but have a great progression to them. This is also why I run stock tyre sizes on an 8" rim. I tried 225/45's but the increase in sidewall flex was not welcome and they seemed to have too much grip for my liking. I like to balance the grip with the chassis and how much power I have. I do a lot of track stuff as I compete in the TSS. Winning my class two years running on stock tyre sizes against those with wider tyres.

I think they're a good choice if you are a road only driver who doesn't push it really hard. Wouldn't recommend them for the track though.

Change them. The Primacy tyre is not great for feel. I like the Yoko Advan V105's. Riceburner on here can you do a good price.

I've done 94K miles it is my daily car I do everything in it, I use it for my work. I've realised that life is too short to drive a boring car and that I cannot drive a boring car again. Years ago I had a Panda diesel (terrible mistake) and a DC2. I hardly ever got to drive the DC2, so I would never put myself in that situation again. I had a decent sound system installed when I bought the car, stuff like that really helps. I stil love driving mine, even though it's a pain driving arounda the local council estate for work with it's pot holed roads and mountainous speed humps! The excitement soon comes back when I drive it on track or get a chance to play on a decent road.

The Toyota ones are all the same though. Would have thought it would have been the same for Subaru

That is incredibly poor. I still don't understand why you can't go to another Subaru dealer for what is a warranty issue. I am confident that you would not have got that response from Toyota.

It's heavy on brakes if you're on it, because it's quick, there's a lot of corners and it's very long. Though one lap at a time helps a fair bit. The speeds are high though.
