Hi. I was wondering if i could get any advice on what tires/alloys to switch to to gain better traction? I've already rung up several companies in regards to this in which the responses have varied. Advice ranged from altering my suspension to adjusting my remap.

Not knowing very much about tires i jumped in head first on the advice of a local garage and bought a rather expensive set of Verstein tires. To my great annoyance this did very little to improve my traction. I still have the standard alloys on and my logic tells me that if i where to put a wider tire on or alloy that would result in more rubber being in contact with the tarmac and therefore better traction? If this is the case please could someone advice me on a suitable size and price to expect?

Many Thanks
Joe
