Ive got PS2s on the front and Falken 452s on the back, ever since the car feels a little light on the rear at high speed on B-Roads, and the traction light seems extra eager! Is this the tyres? Or is it me not getting used to the lesser grip of my old PS2s?

with the Falkens at the front i would expect the rear to be less grippy than before, whilst the front will stay same

whether you can cope with the difference depends on how severe the loss of grip is. Surely the DSC will cope!!!!

think of the positives though, at least you saved a few ££££

My money we be on the tyres need bedding in - give it a few hundred miles with some eager acceleration should sort them out.

I wouldn't be mixing up tyres. Stick to one or the other at any one time and you might get on better. Falkens are fine, just ask Mark. He did very nicely at Ring with them. Lacked grip at times and they over heat easliy but essentially they are OK.
