Bananaman Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Hi Richard, ACB10's are very popular (A24 compound for sprinting) I've just switched to Kumho's which feel pretty good, although they weigh a bit more than the ACB's. Do a search on here for futher info on the Kumho's. Are you planning an assult on 'F' Sizes of Kumho Ecsta V70A 185/55VR15 H. M. S. 580 195 172 6 5.0-6.5 883 205/50ZR15 H. M. S. 583 207 195 6.5 6.0-8.0 877 225/45ZR15 H. M. 578 225 208 7.5 7.0-8.5 886 225/50ZR15 H. M. S. 600 228 206 7 7.0-8.5 854 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Navin Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 If your going for 15 you won't get a 24 compound in ACB10. They only do them in a 31 which is the same compound as the Caterham race cars. I used them last year to some effect but they were noticably less grippy than 24's. I got them from BMTR within two days of my order posted out. I think they were around the £475 mark for the 4 I am looking to replace my wheels and tyres for 13's with 24 compound if and when I make a return to the series.

simonbesant Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Richard Ray and myself are running Toyo R888's the sizes are 205 15 and they have also just released a 215 15 they seem to work very well on the westfield with loads of feel. I have a really good contact for thes in high wycombe ring a guy called Sandy at Loudwater Tyres on 01494 463123 and mention myself and the westfield speed series and he will sort you out a deal. if you need some help getting the wheels to him let me know as i am often near guildord.
