    Righty, rear tyre is now a slick, front just about knackered too, time for some new shoes on the toy.

    Usually go for the BT014's, found em very stable..with plenty of grip..thought the steering could use quickening up though.
    Was thinking of doing some TD's very soon so was looking at maybe the new BT002's..dual compound front's have a less aggressive profile from the more flighty 12ss they replace(tried em once..made front end very ugly), with a medium compound rear - how much softer than a bt014? - wondering if they would be worth it to try em out..as they should quicken the steering over my standard choice..hopefully without upsetting the front too much and still giving a reasonable rear end life..Anyone else tried em out yet/heard reports?
    Both sets cost about the same..within a few pounds..so go for the stable 14's..or the more track orientated new fast road 002's?
