Tyre Recommendations for V8V SP10?

[Ken Figenus]

Need to get Martyn to do a driving test type 3 point turn and report if they scrub!

I've just had 4 PS4-S put on for the trip and she's all over the shop! They seem to take more than 20 miles to bed in!



Will be interesting to compare but I do expect to be very impressed soon.

Thanks Martyn and enjoy your trip. Hope it's not too cold and wet for the Cup 2s. Could you post a picture of your car with the V12 size tyres to see if the profile difference leaves the arches a bit empty (given that your car isn't lowered)?

This was taken last week in Scotland. If I find one full side on I’ll post it son. Just got back and not sorted photos yet.

Great photo, thanks Martyn. Is that the road around the west coast of the Applecross peninsula? How were the Cup 2s?

Its not its a bit soft as he goes too quick for the autofocus, but bang on with the location

OK, don't be too hard on yourself (or the camera). Very jealous as I have cycled that road (3 times) but not driven it yet. Did you stop at the Applecross Inn for lunch?

Pete the Cup 2’s are great. We had some wet and cold <9deg weather and they felt fine even on very wet roads, but we weren’t pushing.
Dry grip is exceptional and we didn’t come close to the limit. Hope to do Rockingham track day that Burntout is organising so we’ll find the limits there I guess!!
The wheel arch gap is about the same as standard as the diameter is less than 2% less than standard tyres.
Thanks to DEWI for the photo!
