We’ll see how it does I guess! But a set of brand new and fairly grippy tires for 243$, shipping included, that would be hard to beat! We’ll see how they behave on the S16... but they seem fairly ideal on such a car if 3-wheeling into corners is what you’re after :)

3 wheeling sounds like fun! You were thinking about selling this in a while, right? How much KMs are on it?

Yes I will sell it in a few months... 4 months or so maybe... It has 127000km currently, the alcantara of both front seats is dead, the body immaculate, the usual leak of the valve cover gasket (classic with those engines lol) and it will be under 4000€ landed with a bill of sale of my own making when I’m done with it :D (Taxes in Europe would hurt otherwise...)

Not sure yet if I’ll fix the seats, but the valve cover gasket will be repaired for sure (Peugeot does not make a valve cover gasket for that engine... you have to make it yourself with a tube of gasket-making-thing... go figure why they are known to leak from there haha) . AC works and that’s pretty much the only option lol.

Peugeot doesn’t make a gasket as in they have stopped making replacement parts or Peugeot doesn’t make a gasket as in the car never had one from the factory?

I have heard nothing but good things about those tires. A lot of guys with C30's run them.

I have them on my clownshoe. They’re very grippy for the price. I can’t believe that there is just not a valve cover gasket lol, such a foreign concept

Good to hear it! Yokohama Advan a052 are 3 times more expensive.... I highly doubt they are three  times better, no matter how big of a fan I am of the a048 and a050...
