Not been on a track day for a while. I have a set of 14" compomotives with Yoko 32r which have seen about 500 road miles and 4-5 track days. They have about another 1-2 trackdays left in them Max

So what tyres do you recommened for a Tiger supercat ( 7 type car) and the best place to get them from. Hoping to get a few trackdays booked for this year

Toyo R888 - they seem to work well on all types of car.

I'm quite a fan of the Kumho V70a, a soft compound could work quite well on a light car.

Something different to the R888 anyway.

heard plenty of good things about them also. what go me thinking was that I was in Castle combe yesterday and happend to be a trackday on. many using road tyres and others using track day rubber including Dunlops.

What would regular trackday's get there tyres from?

Slicks!

I run them on my Nova - last longer than A032-Rs that I've had plenty of, and better grip and very progressive.
And... £15 each (Michelin 16/53x13).

Before you run slicks on your car, I highly suggest you read this thread first
