cheers bubba. its not as if im trying to avoid the cost. if i had the £260-270 to replace all 4 tyres i would, but basically at the moment i dont, as im trying to pay debts etc, and the car is due a service too in two weeks. im not on the greatest wages and neither is my fiance. if two front tyres would be suitable, i would rather invest in two toyos, rather than in 4 new cheapo tyres for the equivalent cost.

my car was, and is wearing toyo proxes t1-r 215/40/17 tyres. not cheap crappy tyres you will agree.

i would personally rather have a lack of electronic gadgets driving me, and me learn from my mistakes, then become reliant on a 2 tonne barge helping me out.

i can see a small amount of sincerity in your post however.
I was being sincere.

And yes the biggest enemy of the motor vehicle is weight, and two extra people in the back would detoriate the performance of your vehicle considerably. Weight is sooooooooo evil. Its just shows how great germans cars are though as they perform so well with masses of weight.

Dont know how T1-R's are in the wet but my eagle f1's are astounding. Will try toyos next time round so I can compare.

Agreed. I hate driving with more than 2 passengers.

Alot of the time when youngsters have accidents is when their little hatch is packed out with people. They dont account for the added weight which will make their vehicle drive, handle and stop like a dog on skates which results with them being in a ditch, or not being able to stop in time for junctions etc

Who said anything about poor handling hatches. Add 200kg to a elise and it will perform drastically worse.

You misjudged a bend and was trying to rectify it. Had your car been 180kg lighter you might have had more luck in doing so
