Was out in mondello saturday for the just jap drift day and found my s14 losing grip on the front tyres, it was worse at the start of the day because the track was wet but even when it dried up it still was understeering a bit on me!!
I dont really know much bout tyres so hada look at a few other lads tyres and they seem to be using semi slick type fronts but would they not be shite in the wet??
What types should a buy for the front??

Maxsports work in wet & dry conditions.
Get the medium compound , they'll last longer & still provide plenty of grip.

The subframe bushes were hanging out of the car, as were the wishbone bushes, the pick and mix of coilovers knocked like a song by guns and roses,The respray was the roughest I'd seen since Stevie Wonder Autobody closed down and the front panels had gaps as straight as turn 2 at mondello, Yeah,Straight car I'd say!
