Summer/Track tyres

[mgbond]

Been checking through the posts to try and decide what tyres to put on the spare set.

Should I just go for 888's or are the R1R or TR1's good enough, I'm on std suspension?

Hi Bondy , i,ve got a spare set of rime with 888's on which are superb for track but bloody horrible on the road !!! My Road rims have brodgestone SO2'2 on and it was such a relief to go back to them having had my 888's on for a month and 3 track days , if you are only going to use them on track the 888's take some beating !!

As S02s are no more, what would be ideal for summer road with odd trackday?

My current tryes RE050s are fine for road and wet so I'll stick with them for winter.

Hi Bondy the Federal RSR are supposed to be very good and when my so2 are knackered I'm going to put a set on !! Good value as well !!!!

They look good but look like all weather tyres and not summer/track tyres.

Bondy speak to Chris (Coolchris) I think you live the same way ish? He had someone local to him get a set of so2's at a very good price. I've had them before and they're great in the dry, but I now have eagle f1's with the v pattern (gsd3's) and I love em for summer tyres. Only problem is they're fookin expensive!

Like the look of the RSR !!!

RSR are dirt cheap, about 150 for the rear.

I looked at the Michelin pilot super sport as well but couldn't see them in the correct size for the noble

Corsas were 230+ so good assuming they perform (and nothing I've seen has been bad about them)

Hi Bondy , in the Mazda mx5 racing this year you can lap silverstone with RSR fitted within 2 seconds of the 888's time they ran last year !!!! And they are substanionaly better I. The wet !!!!

[mgbond]

I'm gonna get the RSRs.

While we are here, whats the name of the wheel refurb place thats near aylesbury that a load of us have used in the past.

Need to go back to them to get these coloured the same as my other wheels.

Just got a reply from Nick , no 225 in stock so would have to be 235 on front about £700 for full set !!! Does not sound like he is giving such a deal :-( demon Tweeks stock them might be worth giving them a shout also camskill are pretty good !!!

Fitted a rear set of these Brigestones a few months back, seem very good

Just noted that Bondy was saying you can't get them, thay must have been old stock, fitted by my local garage for the MOT 2/2/11 for £152.50 + vat each.
