Thumbs up raaay, summers here. proper wheels back on

loving this global warming got the REO70's back on today with the anthracite alloys

got to admit to finding the PS2's a good tyre with great ride quality, but hated the gold wheels will take a couple of days to get back used to the skitish ride of the bridgestones but after taking a few quick corners today i can live with that

as a side note, i used poorboys alloy wheel sealer on them for the first time and can thoroughly recomend it, a great product. really makes the wheels shine

if you have a proper geomerty set up they are excellent, just need to warm them up first before going fast

pretty hard if the road temp is around freezingi always run proper geometry settings, but prefer to stick to a bit of a safety margin with the tyres in the winter

what size have you got? just looked at your 'my scooby' and see you're running 18's, must have cost a few quid for those they've only been recently released
