Thumbs up

you`ve done well to get 3500 out of a corsa , suggest that as you appear to happy with the life that you stick with what you like , myself i`ve fitted 3 corsas and wouldn`t see any real need to change

Love the corsa IIIs........one question tho, do they come in different compounds ( I know they are dual comps) I ask cos my mate has one on his zx10 and when we park up, mine always looks used !?! with gravel stuck all over it....... his however looks so fresh and hardly sticky.....yes I know its how you use the throttle,.....4cyls `v` twins power delivery.....but surely it cant make that much difference ?
Hence the question!

you need to check your tyre pressures , if they are too high the tyre can`t work correctly , however if too low they will also not work correctly ...but they will become as sticky as f##k
don`t be tempted to go with the usual 2.3 and 2.5(as a safe bet) ....stick with the manual at 2.1 and 2.2

on the subject of your first question ...corsa 3 only come as one dual compound
