why not? its my experience i had them so that what im saying,

if someone has had them they can say if they were bad or not and the lad can make a informed decision based on good/bad stories about em.

Put it this way, a tyre can potentially cope with 200mph say but the car will only be capable of 130mph. I fail to see how your tyres couldnt cope with the gsi engine.

they spun up, couldnt get traction as good with the gsi engine in 1st and 2nd sometimes 3rd
where as with the 8v engine they were fine

also with the gsi engine they wore a lot faster
