Your forgetting about the Avon ZZS option Stephen

You're right Terry, but I know nothing about the ZZS, seems to be a new tyre? What sort of compound is it? Is it as sticky as the softest 888? Or softer? No doubt someone will be comparing them "side by side" soon, but possibly not soon enough for Speed Series competitors to get tyres for the start of this season?

It's a pretty hard compound apparently, I have some details which I'll dig out...

 

Edit: The compound is A84 (been updated on the Avon site now: http://www.avonmotorsport.com/road-legal/performance/zzs) which is apparently close to the A29 from this list: http://www.avonmotorsport.com/resource-centre/compounds

What is your source for the apparent equivalence? Is that info from Avon?

[AdamR]

Yes (via Barny / BCF).

I'm sure that someone will say that there is no need to use more rubber.

I'm going to say it! You'll probably find that with these harder compounds you'll get heat into the narrower sizes quicker.
