pete g Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 all the tyres above will be ok but the fast cars will be on avon or kumho super softs. super softs are ok on the road I use my old ones on my v8 .[no good on a track day] bearing mind wet weather tyres then super soft are best. r888 are ok in the wet .I don't have wet weather tyres just a set with more tread. for sprinting with super softs you may get a season or 2 out of them depending on how many events and how hard you drive.

Beez Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thanks for the replies. Currently the car has AO48s fitted Front 185/60/r13 medium and Rear 205/60/r13 Soft, so I've had another look at the amount of tread left on them and the fronts are actually OK so I don't really need to replace them, I think i'll just go for a set of AO48s for the rear, but should I stick to Soft on the back or change to Medium to match the fronts? (At least I assume thats what the S and M are in the ovals next to the sizing) I guess if its wet out then everyone else will be in much the same situation at an event, and driving to an event I'll just need to be a bit lighter on the right foot! As a bonus that'll leave me with the money saved on not buying Front tyres to buy a Gear Indicator, I'm always going for "7th" etc due to having a bike box.

Terry Everall Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I may have a suitable geartronics indicator for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beez Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thanks Terry, I'm looking at getting one of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321042027620?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Seems like a pretty easy plug and play job, plus it has a change up indicator where the number flashes when you reach a user defined RPM.
