Default Tyres

Since having upped power etc. I now get four wheel spin. Tyres I have are new, faulkens 452.

Are their better gripper tyres you could recommend. As thought these were pretty good, but proving me wrong

Found reason I get spin, it's not four wheels spinning.

It's I have a STi gearbox with uk rear diff. Oh dear not good at all.
