So have a evening session at Brands, I have 2 pairs of 595rs. One pair has 1mm above marker and the other pair has 2mm. Am I right in thinking I should put the pair with more thread on the front?

Hello all,

It's all well and good getting your car to take the corners well but the limiting factor, even with standard suspension and tyres, is keeping your arse in the seat so you can maintain control - especially if you have leather seats. :roll:
