My 308 makes 200rwkw, so is a bit hard to hold on to on any rubber when the roads wet, Im not trying ti start an argument here, just stating my experience. This isn't a "how sticky are your tyres" thread, so we should focus on the topic.

You must have **** tyres, i have almost 350 rwkw, in the wet, i have no issues driving sensibly.

And on a normal road what difference does IRS make to traction? None. On a flat surface, IRS has no advantage in the traction compartment... It only provides extra tracion on uneven surfaces....

Is your V8 Stock? If so thats a hell of an effort for a 124kw VL even with 3.9's. I also have 3.9's in my VN and I admit it makes a difference but not that much.

Thats just a guess, the engine builder said thats what i can expect. I reckon he's not far off, hangin out for the dyno day:thumbsup:

Minux, tyres were bridgestone turanza er30's, not the stickiest so dont help my cause. If anyone can recomend good tyres Im up for some new ones!
