Yeah I would think so... But I don't know if it's me or something else but I find the Speedmind tires wear down a lot too these days. Perhaps it's the track surface. I also noticed that their rubbers are not as dense as before I used to remember. I'll go and check again.

BTW, with the new Ellegis, I needed to screw in the pivot ball more. With the new Ellegis, I would end up about 1 mm wider in front and the rear than I would with the Speedminds. So now I set the trackwidth with the Ellegis and when I switch to Speedminds, I use self made hex lexan spacers to space out the wheels to get the same trackwidths.



Yeah I saw some at Mushroom. However, we get ours at our LHS since the price is about the same before shipping.



Yeah you're right. It's driving style and preference. I think the wider front should tame your car a little.
I actually find that on the front of the car I have to turn in the knuckles heaps to get 199 with the speedminds.

We will try the new tyres weather I want to or not (sparksy will make sure of it)
