don't buy toyo's but eagle F1's (for road use).

much stiffer, tho a touch more expensive.

MUCH better for the track...see you at pembrey!

or get R888's and see how quick a Griff can be

Goodyear's are a fine choice. Make sure they are GSD-3's not 2' though. Rated much better.

Don't know what the new Toyo R1-T is like though. Getting good press at the moment.

Toyo R888's are not available in the correct sizes (yet)

sorry...i have 16" all round and run the R888's at 225 front and rear. Plenty of grip...

but you will need to baffle the sump!

Thanks all. Black Circle sent a list of tyres and only Dunlop SP 9000 available front and rear. Are these any good - otherwise will go for Goodyear all round, from elsewhere.
