[Crafoo]

I'm sure it was u crafoo I seen a couple of weeks back going over the forth road bridge. 10 plate is it. A was heading to a stag do in Dunfermline on a mini bus tho and a spotted it in the distance. A though ma misses was chasing me to see what a was up to. First av seen another speed blue r since av had mine. Now your moving to the dark side booooooooo

No I'm on a 60 plate fella, never been round there in the Leon. Never been spotted in the Leon either lol

Ah meant 60 plate. Damn big thumbs. Who else has a speed blue in Scotland. A feel lonely

Plus how good are the Goodyear's for putting the power down. I'm on the vredestein and it still struggles in the dry

Pretty sure mine ain't been mapped and it struggles for grip in the dry don't even touch the loud peddle in the wet never mind one that's been mapped.

Gonna get it booked in for a dyno run soon at hypertech and see what it is running.

I have a CR170 so less powerful than yours two but I have the Goodyears on mine and even in the pudding down rain they don't loose traction at all. Only when they start to wear down they do abit.

Yeah I'm still not overly sold on the Goodyears, they are good, but they aren't as good as the reviews many seem to give them imo.

 

[olitaylor07]

But I can't see hardly any tyres with 334bhp through the front been brilliant.

Yeah it's not just putting the power down though, there have been other times when i think they should have reacted better.

 

[G19RJS]

My old mans Volvo t6 can put the power down better in the wet over the cupra and it's on kumhos so undecided for the next set of tyres.

I think the Uniroyal rainsports are supposed to be good wet weather tyres.

 

[olitaylor07]

I had them on my Astra and they are very good in the wet just not as good in the dry. And there cheaper aswell.

Impossible to get a good all rounder, it's like most things, you can't get something that's fantastic at everything, there is always a trade off.

 

[G19RJS]

Suppose 90% of the time the roads are wet or damp up here so rain sports could be a viable option.

No one recommend the primewell tyres. Lmao

Only way to cover all bases is to buy some good dry weather tyres and another set of good wet weather tyres.

 

[G19RJS]

Already had to buy a wheel from sere after misses had a fight with a kerb. Stuff buying another set. Will settle for a good all rounder me thinks and some spare shorts for the rain. Gotta get the benefit from the gap insurance.

Wheels and kerbs are a bad combination. The R wheels are bloody expensive to replace too aren't they?
