Lol, the 4wd makes a HUGE difference in the wet, even with just the default 95/5 split.

I have tried both types of yokos, although they were in 205 40 16 and i agree with Rich B. A very soft compound, wore out very quickly and uttery rubbish in the wet.
OK i will get some goodyear F1's then, can anyone find them cheaper than £35.30 each, inc vat and delivery. I can get them fitted for £5 per wheel = £161.2 all in.

Anyone know where to get a center cap and black nut with a "black and white alfa romeo badge" on them? as one of mine are missing, simular to these

Or maybe silver nuts CN50S "Centre Nut 50 Silver. Open Face Option"
or chrome CN74C "Centre Nut 74 Chrome." on this page

Instead of being open faced, thats where the alfa romeo badge is

you say the yokos are crap in the wet but maybe thats down to the car rather than the tyres. 33s are so easy to wheelspin in the wet. in my old 33 ie i could wheeelspin in 1st 2nd and 3rd without trying - it was fun though doing a 1/2 mile wheelspin.

I've tried Yokohamas, both A539 and A520 and found them to be superb in the dry, but utterly rubbish in the wet. Is there a new version thats good?

I would still recommend Eagle F1s, I've got them on my 145 and they are awesome!!
