That’s where I had mine from, which were very cheap! But the website doesn’t seem to be there anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Be c careful with altering your ride height due to different tyre circumferences and overall diameter. Particularly an issue if you alter the rake too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maurici Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 And @AdamR has not been over yet to tell you that rainsports in 185 for a trackday is everything you need... Well. Then i will. Rainsports in 185 and forget slicks. You wont beleave how fast you are next time you drive the car with sticky tyres... it will be like turning down the dificulty in you videogame!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I only didn't mention it because I'm not sure 185 road tyres will go well on 9" rims 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I think I have the Rainexpert 3... one sec. Yep, those in 185/70R13, on 5.5" rims. True caravan wheels / tyres 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having got them though I wish I'd gone for 185 / 60s as these are very tall. They only just squeeze under my front cycle wings. Anyone with wings snug to lower profile tyres would struggle.

AdamR Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 They look meaty! I should have said I only got the 70 profile for gearing reasons - sorry Andrew. Still, now you have them you'll never need to use them 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, now you have them you'll never need to use them 😃 My gearing is slightly on the short side too Adam, but I cant say I'll be trying hard enough in the wet to exceed 120mph. .. and yes, hopefully I wont need them. 20 minutes ago, Mole said: Andrew have you got those on ready for Donnington on 22nd??

My wet option up to now, was some ancient crusty race wets I've had for a few years now.. probably only marginally better than slicks on a proper wet track. Donington shall be dry!

It will be if I put some on my only set of wheels!! Forecast for this Tuesday is dry til about 11 then 50 percent chance of rain showers..will be my last session on three reasonable R1Rs and one not so good.. but should be good practice for the 22nd.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
