    32 front 29 rear but still on old fronts now the front end feels bit washy under pump is it because A)front rear don’t currently match B )rear are new really sticky front old hard
    C )tyre pressure
    All of the above [emoji51]
    Of course my biggest fear is the shockers need rebuild but it handled better with the old rears and the front and rear were matching there’s more grip in the back obviously but at speed the front end dances a little too much for my liking

    Apologies that’s funny I came back had a look and shook my own head any how just been of the phone and new front Direzionale tyres in a week and if it still handles like a shot duck I’ll move on to shocks I’ve just been experimenting with tyre pressures to try and take the twitch off the front end but thanks for Taking an interest it’s just unnerving the way the back end snakes around still at speed and I’ve done well over 100klms on the new rear tyres

    Have you had a proper front and rear wheel alignment done?

    Yep, a properly set up car on **** tyres is still predictable.

    PP and horse are right. A wheel alignment and a set of good tyres. You’ll think it’s an F1 car.

    No yet Horse thanks for that I was waiting till I got the new front tyres on and my car wouldn’t fit on the wheel alignment rig at the place I got the rear tyres from but of course it might be the cause definitely cheers

    How fast do you have to go to feel the handling is not good!

    Looks like better weather in Sydney for a car show that the heat in Melbourne for the Alfa’s Spettacolo show
