I used to run Slicks up front and Yoko A048's on therear of my B16 vtec Metro and it was by far the best combo.
Different on all cars/setups though.....

I presume you run alot of camber?
I tried radial slicks on the front of my 106 and it was all over the place.

They should be better than the 888 as they are a full race slick.
Yer I bet your still stughling to get the rears to max working temps.
I would of gone out, and done a run. Get them all hot, swap the fronts with rears after, then the rears should be better.

Not easy because you have a hard compound
For a Saxo, medium compound really is the compound to use. Can use hard on the front, but Saxo get no really heat in the rear.

rain
hello ...
so the slicks over normal rain are imposible to drive, that everybody knows!!!!!
and its true , you cant brake or pull not even turn. not usefull!!
BUT maybee what you dont know is that under low rain or humid pavement the sliks ( they are michelim S9B) , still are a beter tyre , even whith small rain condicions they are driveble , but a bit less.
yes, they cost 1270 euros the 4 but is the one off the most impresive mod ive made .
will buy it again and again.
thanks for .
