LOL that was rather tight wasn't it.. There was an ambulance coming the other way, I was hoping I wouldn't interface with it!

My biggest issue with them was wet performance, but they also didn't want to grip very well in the dry.

Apparently I've got ***** tyres on my Bravo, they just came with the car. May explain why every time I gun it in second the tyres just spin up smoke
I hear yours are made for the road, rather than bridges.

Ah, just got it. Yeah cheap ripoffs it seems.
Would a quality set of tyres make a big difference in grip? The one issue I have with the car is its tricky to put all the power down without wheelspinning and keeping it under control.

Vig was telling me how someone commented that your tyres are Roadstone or something, and someone said they are built for roads unlike Bridgestones that are blatantly made for bridges.

New from the dealer with those fitted?
If so, NICE!

Car was second hand from a main dealer, it had a different set of alloys and tyres on when I went to look at it and I asked them to swap the alloys with another car they had there (was also a 150T Bravo), didn't check to see what the tyres were on either car tbh.

Shame, yep, it should make a huge difference to traction in all situations.

Don't engage warp factor 11 soo quickly, should help you get more traction off the asteriod in future
Get some new tyres, then keep those as spare just in case.

I think Ultrac Sesentas come in that size 
That was me
I did find the Roadstones quite funny. Excuse me while I go and get a set of Goodmonths i have conti sportcontact 3s and i like them rather a lot.
having said that, i'm sure a large percentage of the über grip i encounter is from the 4wd, rather than the tyres
although they are bloody good
The right pedal has other positions besides full down and full up...
Even with working my way through the gears and pedals sensibly it has a mind of its own.
Then get the faulty suspension components replaced.
