ZedJohn Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Hello, I'm picking up a second set of 18s at the weekend and I want to get some road legal trackday tyres for them. I work for a tyre company and was hoping for some of our own products but they're a bit dear! Has anyone had first hand experience of trackday tyres and could recommend a brand/pattern I should look at? As mentioned above, they'll be for a second set of wheels so on-road performance isn't high on the list. Many Thanks John Quote
djtimo Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 R888's mate cheap, easy to find in the correct size and work very well! Quote
Ekona Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 R888s don't come in the correct sizes sadly, but they're close enough and you'd have the ESP turned off on track anyway Either those or A048s if they even make them in that size. Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Agree with the above, although 048's tend to be harder than 888's and therefore last longer when used for multiple laps. Quote
Ekona Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Depends on what compound you're using though on the A048, but for the most part that's true. I found that the M or LTS spec don't hold up so well, but the MH ones were much better. Quote
