Tyres and Brake Dust

[mtb]

Knowing money was going to be tight with my 350i going into RT racing last autumn for a lot of work a mate of mine in the tyre trade convinced me that a set of Continental contieco CP rubbers would suit the wedge a treat (also supposed to save fuel as well not sure about that) having covered 2000 mls on this rubber i rate them better than anythink else thats been on the car,very difficult to unstick in the dry on take off or cornering also no yelps or squealing on hard cornering the compound seems very supple and are wearing well I dont drive the car to much in the wet but they seem ok I paid £65 fitted each for these if money tight well worth a look.


Have any of you guys come across these not so dusty brake pads for the fronts. Im spending more time after a 100 mile blast wearing my fingers out trying to keep me refurbed wheels clean than driving .

You could get some dustbin lids to go over the brakes - if they will fit.

The brake pads that you mean are Green Stuff by EBC.

EBC green stuff will do (use them myself, but don't bother about cleaning - driving is what a TVR is about isn't it?).

I think dust caps will have the opposite effect: no brakes when you need them (DON'T DO IT).

I use EBC too .. they don't generate much dust.. recomended !
