Supra-Brett Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I have no experience of driving other supes, and i bought mine with 265/30/19s on it. Ive just had the arches rolled and moved up to 295/35/19s and i can tell you this much. In the dry, the wider tyres do give a bit more grip (but this could equally be the different tyres) In the wet the car is a LOT worse, back end slides all over, and mine is an N/A. I have to be very very carefull. I am seriously considering getting smaller rims for the winter despite loving the looks of the 19s. Best advice ever, is to take it easy.

SUPRASUZUKI Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Why don't you learn to drive? 400 BHP is obviously too much for you. Sounds like another Supra death coming up. Mate, that post's in poor taste given recent events. Best advice ever, is to take it easy. That's spot on. You can have the sweetest setup or the worst, but if you can't control your right foot, you're heading for trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 i was about to type "mine has eibach springs and there ok" but then i saw it was Chris W who posted... so to avoid looking stupid i wont.... oh crap Alternatively CW's suspension, installed and set up by the man. Then you know you're ok and it's just a matter of driving more slowly until experience catches up. Oh and Falkens are mid range tyres.

paul mac Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Mate, that post's in poor taste given recent events. fully agree with that, theres not much on here i find offensive but i think that cross's the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Why don't you learn to drive? 400 BHP is obviously too much for you. Sounds like another Supra death coming up. Damn thats a bit harsh and uncalled for are you saying you have never lost traction in a Supe?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 fully agree with that, theres not much on here i find offensive but i think that cross's the line I found RLTC to be very good when it was working. Now i have found that with the combination of TTE wheels (on CW advice), Tein Adjustable suspension and lots of adjustments in ride height and damper setting that in the dry/damm that the car is excellent. I am however going to replace my current set of tyres as well in the new year. Also throttle control is very important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 In poor taste given the timing but unfortunately Chewie hit the nail on the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvteye Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I'm no technician but these falken tyres are advertised as summer tyres in mytyres.co.uk. On another thread it states that summer tyres require a high ambient temperature to get sticky. What's the view on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Definately correct. Summer tyres do require quite a bit higher temperature due to their moderatly harder compound. So to some degree I would guess you would get higher grip on a dry road in the winter with normal driving where you dont get the tyres up to higher temperature. Summer tyres do have difference in compound with softer tyres being some of the more special Pirelli tyres (probably others too, don't know which) at the cost of durability.
