surely this is going to be a challenge for a FWD?

I dont see why ford havent put the toyo R888 as an option the same as the megane so these tyres can used for media tests.

would be interesting to see how this version compares to an RS tuned megane R26R with both cars having the same tyres.

Focus RS with the Toyo R888 had only 1s better time on the Nurburgring than with the stock tyres - due to its weight they said.

Plus it had shredded them before the end of the first lap, along with cooking its brakes! Autocar's RS is on its 4th set of front tyres and it's only done 11K miles!!

not a bad price for 40bhp

Agreed, but isnt it about time Renault did this with a tuning firm

Ford have Mountune
Subaru have Prodrive
Mitsubishi have Ralliart

And now even Vauxhall are offering upgrades to VXR models. Some Vauxhall dealers like Thurlby Motors even do their own tuned special editions that are still covered by manufacturer warranty.

Vauxhall have Courtnay Sport.

Renault should team up with K-tec or something.

I've said this a couple of times on the RS forum and it's always been met with no reply lol so I've given up hope. I'm waiting on the results of Sean's Supercharger
