Of course all cars are tired before they can be taken for a spin. Ill be tired at the end of the coming 2Thousand-km journey* ...
High-performance driving is not exclusively a pleasure limited the owners of exotic sports cars. I would say Peugeot 308 turbo can be considered as the entry level to hot hatch.
The most important upgrade is not just how fast a car takes to sprint from 0~100kph, but how short it can decelerate form 100-0kph. It is also not what the top speed is, but also how safe to take corners and hairpins.
The popularity and success of the local tune-up business is an indication of the increasing interest in driving "beyond average". Pro car tuners not only concentrate on engine bhp/torque and suspension/chassis but also on wheels and tyres modifications to the extreme in order to squeeze out what ever can in order to maximize performance.
As far as tyres are concerned, go get pro guide for the tyre aspect of tuning to make correct choice of tyres for the improved handling and safety. Remember that when driving, tyres are the only contact between the car and the road. Selection of the wrong type of tyres can lead to serious if not fatal accidents.
The following are some of the acceptable tyre sizes for 308THP. [in parenthesis are %increase in circumference] wrt std stock tyre 225/45 R17
195/55 R17 [+1.89%] the tyre width is too narrow for J7.5 wheel. Not advisable.
205/50 R17 [+0.39%] Best priced
215/50 R17 [+1.97%] Better tyre for comfort and fuel economy
225/45 R17 [0%] Best Compromise
235/45 R17 [+1.42%] Highly recommended upgrading w/o changing wheels.
