That's what I don't want to get into.
Similar to the GT86 mantra with the Prius tyres (but not quite as extreme), you can get a bit of movement from relatively low speeds. I don't want something that's even more grippy requiring you to be going faster to break traction.
I've currently got the OEM Bridgestones on my 370. The time is fast approaching when they'll need replacing.
A lot of people on here rave about Michelin Pilot Super Sports being a better option because they are grippier.
This is all well and good but I don't want to loose the movement I get out of the Bridgestones. I'm not talking about massive drifts, just the odd flair coming out of quiet 2nd gear corners etc.
To put it bluntly: Am I going to be able to skid as much if I go for Michelins?
Desperate to paint the insides of my headlight darker. Too chicken to do it myself.
Do we have a Raul G type guy in the UK? He seems to do a lot of the 370's over the pond.

With the 370 being pretty planted in the dry on OEM Bridgestones, do the MPSS tyres make it even more stuck? It's nice to have a bit of slip, I'm worried the Michelins will thwart this?
Would love to have a go at Blyton in the Z. Worried about the oil temp though.
Anyone done it in a 370?
My old Clio 200 just kept on going with no problems, it was a blast!
This is awesome!
I love reading proper build threads like this. Hats off to you for undertaking such an arduous task.
I can imagine the feeling of pride when you stand back and admire the finished article.
I've got a Frog Eyed Sprite I'm hoping to do the same with. It was completely rebuilt back in 1986 so fingers crossed it won't be as much of a mission as the above.....he says.......
You could just get some short tails and take them off every time you go in for a service?
I've got the Cybox ones on my Zed. They sound pretty decent and only cost £160.
