when i first had it it had the original Perelli (sp) tyres on it. these were alright for 11 year old tyres. i then changed them for budget £25 a corner shite, these scared me silly so i decided to buy some new alloys and get better tyres. its now running on Falken ZE512 205/40x17 tyres - i know they are hardly drag slicks, but they surely can't be described as shite.

i wouldn't put it down to shite driving. its not like i just slam on the brakes. i brake till i'm right on the limit of the tyres (till i get a slight squeel), then if i need to i cadience brake.

its only the fronts that lock.

how would more weight help him brake quicker? when i'm in my old mans Daewoo Matiz and i'm 4 up, i flip a coin to see if i'll drop it down a gear or brake when i see a traffic light ahead.
