If yes, it's a bit pointless as to have full contact path with the tyre on the road the tyre surface needs to be flat.
Not really... the different compound does further effects...
... after several resistances,
Moni II now has new heels
As a reminder, I had before the bridgestones RE040 with 8mm spacers at the front and the balance was for me very fine!
So I have now on the stock rims (5.5 +7) the Yokos on it.
I have done a short warm up on my home-GP with a pure N/A-Hill

Result: At a glance into the team's best time BUT ...
I think you know it all unconsciously ... we know exactly what portion of the same route is, something sounds from front left, sth rattles from rear right and something in between easily squeaks...
All the more amazing that all sounds at once are away.... Only remaining the only, the VX and the manifold

The bridge
stones in the cold state their names in accordance with hard like
stone. The Yokos have cold already feel that fingerprints on the profile will left behind when they are concerned, they are so soft ... This is reflected then in their own higher and wider suspension even though they grade so much flat forward and this is not to be expected ...
First I have the factory default airratio given to them, VA 1.7 HA 1.8. The RE040 I had with 1.6 and 1.8 and they are driven with the values still very strong vs. the Yokos. At the front the behaviour is on the round so satisfactory that a big grin never will stop

the back, however, it is unusual ... you have the feeling that the rear is activ. Exactly where the RE040 slipped away, the Yokos purely right now go further... a very special sense of the limits of what this wheel / tire combinations can really, you have only taste it step for step and then go through the usual and have the old alarm bells newly recalibrated.
A little bit of the feeling comes high as zz-marcello it had described in our forum in the beginning when buying cheap tires ... one can say what you want against the RE040, but the whole driving behavior is just balanced and what the stability under the rear concerns but rather just like a kart, hard and unyielding. No one can deny the Yoko Combo drive (very) fast, but there is not (yet) the latest confidence and light heartedness.
I will now try different airpressures at the back. This rather would be the opposite, with more at the rear. Time will tell, whether it be probably the softer sidewall can effectively cover ...
The weights, I had already written: VA 19.6kg HA 22.6 kg So, only the rear wheel is heavier, depending on what is left after great hard cornering in the dolomiti

.
To look briefly to the visual appearance, though not as great value on it, but since there is less height, there is still more air in the wheel housing. With my "reduction" of the stock suspension it seems to me fairly enough. But you can also trust you parking in front of a restaurant without exact adjusting the steering wheel. The feared "balloon tires effect" from the 205er options doesn´t have become true. Without direct comparison is not necessarily noted that the tyres are not the stock ones in a view of a stranger. In direct comparison, however, clear, we will see that the rims rather for the Bridgestone made .... tute disturbing but as I said.
I will go on reporting.
Kind regards
