Won't stickier tyres potentially make matters worse if the other fixes haven't been applied?

I would say so yes........

You would think so. But after putting Toyo R1R,s on a stg2+ Cupra and the wheel hop all but dissapeared.
The chassis was completely standard and the hop was quite bad with the Potenza,s.
Fitting the R1R,s made the car feel like it had £1K worth of suspension mods. , . . . . Just got a new set for the spring :grin:
mkviken:
the bridgestones really don't work when they're cold i have found so you probably will notice a difference with different rubber. in the summer the bridgestones were excellent though

Dunno, but what i do Know is that i can still get some wheelspin/touch of hop now; and i have done all of the above fixes...except semi slicks so will report back once the R1R's go on
