I have been running Toyo's on 17 inch rims for a few months now, and last month I got an unrepairable puncture in one of them and couldn't afford at the time to go spend £200 on a pair of tyres so i thought that i'd go back to my OE 16's booted with the Bridgestone RE010's.
In the damp, they make me howl
. Every corner is a giggle without having to do a million MPH. I had me geometry done at TSL and since then, especially on the RE010's the scoob seems to oversteer on demand.
A few notes, I don't drive like a buffoon trying to step the back out where ever I can, I only do it when i know that if it all goes pear shaped, i'm not gonna collect a load of other road users and I never faff around on roads I don't know.
I'm enjoyin' meself on the bridgestones. I know the toyo's are a "safer" tyre, but am i the only one that thinks scoobs are a laff when they are NOT limpet like?

dont drive a scoob but I like the car to slide. thats what put me off putting 17s on my integrale (still blown up!), I had an xr4x4 years ago and always regreted that putting big wheels on made it too grippy. 4wd is best fun when it slides (nice big 4 wheel drifts!!!!) fair play to you for using the car as intended just wish I could still do the same. Oh well of to rag the **** off my puma (best handling fwd ever IMHO)

I used to get a wicked (damp roundabout) power (sic) slide out of the Morris Minor 1000 I had as a student - running on crossplys!
Agree the Scoob can be 'boring' on slow roundabouts by comparison.

Must be just me then 
Anyone else agree with me that sticky scoobs are fun, but in a totally different way to a slippy one
