Mumbles82 Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Looking to buy another set of wheels and tyres for track day use. Any suggestions? I am currently running a Westfield SEI 2.0 on 205 50 15 Have been offered set of 4x100 15 inch with tyres on but getting mixed reviews on if these will fit? Thanks Quote
jonjh1964 Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 If it helps AFAIK most Westfields have 4x108 PCD associated to Ford hubs and Mazda SDVs have 4x100 PCD 1 Quote

Mumbles82 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Posted July 15, 2020 I believe its the zetec 2.0 ford so the 108s are needed from what you are saying? any particular brand or tyre? Not wanting slicks Quote
TableLeg Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Depends on what you want to pay but maybe look at the Nankang AR1. Quote
Mole Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Or if you want a good tyre for all conditions including torrential rain Also depends on wheel size.. 15*7" ? Then 195*50*15 is good and what I run Toyo r1r is a good tyre for road and track quite soft and wears quickly but good grip but not for torrential rain Michelin pilot sport is excellent in heavy rain and ok in dry although not as much grip as r1r..but will last for ages and about 60 quid..

However you do it in a much better way.. plus I like any excuse to see a video of the lobster or other well driven car on opposite lock! So please explain how you feel about road tyres!! 2 Quote

Maurici- CleaR Motorsport Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Ok... Road tyres driven like a t***t. Road tyres driven a bit more seriously... Road tyres driven as smooth as i could... 185 - r13. Continental eco contact or rainsports... 2 Quote
BenD Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 i weren't that impressed with the AR-1s to be honest. i found the pressures when warm fluctuated alot. and i dont think they gave as much feedback or grip as the r888r. i used to set the pressure of the r888r and it would be the same all day 3 Quote
