Handling issues!!



  Red Clio 197 F1
The other week I posted a thread regarding my phase 1 having handling / suspension issues!

Cheers for all the advice and one of you was spot on!

My mechanic told me that it was the tyres and now it makes complete sense.

I put Goodyear F1s on 4 weeks ago and upped the track from 195 - 205.

These were recommended with the Cup Speedline wheels - apparently!

Well anyway, as my car is so light now he said that you track of the tyre has tipped it over and is now to skittish and there is too much surface area on the tyre and therefore less grip.

He's lowered the pressure a good amount and recommended i put a few things back in the car to give it a bit more weight again :-(

Better that then being a hedge I suppose!

Blimey i wouldn't have thought changing your tyre's would make that much of a difference.

At least you got it sorted. I'd hate a small thing like that to be the cause of a write off!
