   Hi guys my front tyres are on the way out and want to change them to a better tyre to give me sharper handling and less wank understeer. Got federal budgets on the rear.
   
   What would you recommend?
   
   They're 155/70 13t BTW
   
   Cheers

   wouldn't that mean having "stretched tyres"?

   K fair enough but when I used to have michelins on the front and shite budget on the back it was really twitchy and responsive.

    If your 4 stud, then get some VTR wheels pretty cheap with half decent tyres on.
