Even with FWD I'd be wary of having crap tyres on the back, you can get some nasty snap lift-off oversteer on some of em Shocked

As with all cars, keep the best tyres on the back...


Agreed....unless its FWD.....then the backs only go around for the fun of it....imo

Even with FWD - best tyres on rear is the standard advice.

Probably tyres... BUT don't overlook geometry - wrong suspension settings can cause strange behaviour. Check www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk for more info - some of us southerners (myself included) had out cars done at Tony's and the difference is huge...
