Re: Yellow Dyane Still here and driving the A series, When I was at Pete Sparrows earlier in the year, he took a pic of it to put on his social media, he said it was the only one that hadn't been upgraded to a bigger spec. This one is fast enough for me , 70 next month, just had to re-apply for my flamin' driving licence, all good for three years  . Changed the oil and filter and grased the front end today, that Belgian arm mod has really changed things regarding kingpin wear and tyre scrubbing I reckon, running at 30psi which is a lot firmer unforunately, given the state of our roads even here in Wales

Re: Yellow Dyane Hey Rob, nice to hear from you.  Why are you running the front at 30psi if you think it is to firm?

Re: Yellow Dyane Pete Sparrow advised, he said he'd found that at 30 psi. it reduced the wear on the outer edges of the front tyres significantly. And it has.

Re: Yellow Dyane I'm running it on Toyos, I'm finding it cornering just the same, only lose traction when being over enthusiastic, then it squeals a bit

Re: Yellow Dyane I only have 40+ years of experience with Michelins. On my brothers 2cv we had Firestone tyres once...it was rubbish.

I love to go on roundabouts a fast as possible and then the Toyo's squeak . And i Think people watching expect my van to tumble over.
