Alright Folks,
Been reading the forum for a while now but wanted to wait until I got another Almera before posting. Last weekend to a run from Livingston where I stay (just outside Edinburgh) to Great Crosby to pick up my new pride n' joy - a 1999 black GTI with full factory bodykit and FSH! Nothing like a 250 mile trip to Scotland to get used to a car huh!
Not that I needed much getting used to a Nissan - I've previously owned an Almera SI (N-plate) Almera SRI (N-plate) and Primera SE (M-plate). Took a break from nissans for a couple of years and got a Pug 306 HDI then sold that for a Golf GTI but neither of these compared to the driver feedback and ultimate reliability of an Almera so I had to get another!

I'm planning on keeping the looks of the car pretty standard and defo keeping the original alloys on. Quick question, has anyone fitted 205/50/15 to the alloys before? I really need to change the ones that are on there just now cos they don't hold the road worth a shit it the wet!!

Cheers guys
 
Hello and welcome to the club it might be the make of tire thats on the car thats causing it to slide. I've got 205/40/17 kuhmo's on mine and its all over in the wet, also i think the wider size tires will cause it to slide more than it already does
 
Welcome!

Wider tyres aren`t always best in the wet. A good, quality brand in 195 is more than enough. Do a search on the best tyres to use. I like the Falken Ze512. The standard issue sp2000`s are crap!
 
Falken Ze512's for me too....! Tried a few other tyres, but like these the best. Just the standard size is fine...
