Guest Budz86 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hi all, This is aimed mainly at people in/around Eastbourne. I have a favour to ask. Could someone please lend me a set of rear wheels for a test drive? I have a slight handling issue, feels like the car is 'floating' a little, and doesn't seem to corner as well as it used to. I took it to AFR earlier for Dude to look at and he can't find a problem. He checked the geo and components and all were fine, so we're thinking it could be the tyres. I'd like to borrow a set of rears to see if I get the same problem, literally only need them for half hour tops including changing them. If the change sorts the handling out, I need new tyres. If not, back to head scratching! Thanks in advance, Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2o2 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 What tyres do you have on just now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I have a couple of Eagle F1 285 x 18s knocking about if they fit your wheels, but I will need them back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I have stock 16's on with 225/50's. Not sure about tyre make, but it's not one of the big names. Thanks Andrew, are they just tyres or wheels and tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Sorry, just tyres, so not appropriate at all really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Budz86 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Are either of you going to the SRR meet on Sun by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I've also got a pair of rears - I'm at PO9 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 You going to be at SRR on Sun? Thinking it might make it easier for me to meet someone there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'm not going no, would be easier for you to find someone there who's willing to let you swap with their wheels - they could put yours on their car and and let you know if it feels any worse - double proof.

Guest Garfy Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I've got a set of stock 16's if you want to try them your welcome, the only thing I wil say is the tyres aren't brilliant on them, but AndrewOW borrowed them while he was getting his wheels refurbed, and I don't think he had any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
