moojii Unregistered M	Sorry if this has been covered before but I can't find it. What tyres are recommended and what speed rating is required. Cheers

eldinho Unregistered E	proccy, changing to 15/50 won't change your oil pressure as it will be the same thickness when hot. you will need to change to something like a 10/60. Stop worrying about the oil pressure! Also I use Toyo T1Rs at the moment but will be trying Hankooks next time.

proccy Unregistered P	Originally Posted By: eldinho Stop worrying about the oil pressure! yeah i gotta say i dont really bother too much with the pressure, as long as it's topped up properly. if it dropped to half bar or less i would be but until then it's all good - down at flea's tomorrow, i'll see what he has to say but, as i'm standard, i don't expect any great revelations just a smoother drive..
