Default 2wd cosworth rear tyres

As above what tyres are you lads running on your cossies? wheels are goin away to get refurbed so gona put new tyres on it aswell, front tyres are falken but not sure whats best for the rear??

or do i keep them all the same and buy 4 new tyres or will i get away with falken on the back? or is that a bad idea?

I've got paradas on mine and keep thinking of putting shit ones on the back to smoke up . Might try some 235s and see if it grips . Would have liked 9 inch mo s on the back but think it would look odd with the fronts being 8.

What did you insurance say about the fitment of the beam ?

Im very interested to hear what it drives like.

Mine will find one under the car when it goes for a map check and air injector set up
