Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

RE: Tires? Where is the best place to buy?
Got my Toyo's from blackcircles.com with no trouble - and they were the cheapest at the time i was looking. Then just had a friend fit them all in exchange for beer!!
(Obviously this is only cheap if you know someone who has a machine and will do it on the side!!)

RE: Tires? Where is the best place to buy?
I've always found Yoko's to be fairly quick wearing for the money - the last 2 times the 2 has had new shoes i've gone for the Toyo T1-R's and find them to be really good for the price - it's always awkward for me price wise as the fronts and rears are different sizes to keep the stagger in the setup (ideal for all MR type cars). So I always end up paying more for the rears! (Front = R16 Rear = R17)

RE: Tires? Where is the best place to buy?
MYtyres.co.uk are good.
Also I rate Glens Low cost tyres, Used to be £50 a corner fitted for some japanesse sport tyre that looked identical to toyo F1's
They were amazing in the dry and pretty good in the wet....no point being a brand snob with car tyres in my opinion they all perform well so long as they look good and come with a good price.
For the record the theory test centre is now in the rosemary centre car park and not near micks tyres
