Funnily enough the Avon man warned me (as he was fitting them) that the current F3 tyres are as hard as nails and I would be lucky if I got them up to any sort of working temp in short club race. He was right.

i drove this car at anglesey in the freezing cold with the old mich tyres, the only fault with the handling was understeer. the rear had buckets of grip and it was a VERY stable car, i couldn't get any heat into the tyres at all, i'm sure they were past their sell by date too! i'd seriously consider not mucking about too much with it and run it as close to how the fr boys run it i.e. with mich tyres (newer than those on it) as putting larger diameter fronts (f3) will affect rake etc etc and ruin everything esp if the rear was left how it was..
