I have a couple of questions for any of you out there in the know.
The first one is relating to tyres and tyres sizes.
I'm running a 1996 993 C2S with 18" Turbo wheels. On the rears are 265/35/18's but I've just checked out the Goodyear website and it tells me that for my wheels I should be running 285/30/18's. I know one of the reasons is that the turbo is wide bodied but I'd heard that the C2S was also.............is this right?
I know as I look at the tyres that are on at the moment there's a good inch(maybe) of wheel arch before it becomes level with the current tyres.
The second problem I have is the brakes.
I don't drive the car everyday and unfortunately it has to be left out in all weather conditions (don't hate me!.......too many bikes in the garage!) and as a result I notice the discs pick up a bit of surface rust. If I've not been out for a few days and then go out for a spin, the brakes are juddering at low speeds - the steering wheel also - but braking from high speeds is usually OK. The car had new pads/discs 10K ago. What dya think it could be?
Any help would be appreciated.
