    If ever i were to have a pet-hate this would be it... Happened a couple of times on my Tig (Pedders once & another time after a puncture repair somewhere) but i actually found Bob Jane (Box Hill) good & watched them using a torque wrench after they fitted my new rims. I now go out of my way to ask for "no over-tightening, please" whenever i have to go to the shop...

    the set i had in the past:





    I saw Bob Jane Taringa QLD also using a torque wrench when I had my tyres mounted using a proper machine for run flats (less chance of damaging rim when mounting tyre).

    What size rims do you have on your Polo? Is there any scrubbing?

    Weather was a bit nicer today... I was taking corners so fast i stuffed up so many times (my usual lines are now useless)

    These tyres seem almost limitless... And when they do slip it is incredibly progressive... They don't just let go...

    Great to hear!!

    do you take any video of your laps?

    What was your impression of how much they wore? Were they sticky to touch?

    What tyre pressure (hot) did you find worked for you?
