Anyone got any experience of these tyres? I have been offered some cheapish which I could put on my Clio for track days... Are they any good?

They're great on my Caterham but not sure how the Clio would react to them and whether you'd need to alter the geometry to take into account the difference in tyre construction.

You have to remember when coming back onto a more normal road tyre that the grip level will be less....otherwise you can get into a whole mess of trouble tongue out

Depends on how cheap 'cheapish' is....you can usually pick up used ones on ebay for not a lot.

Oh, and if it's raining...use something else!!!!

ACB10's are cross ply and will need very different geo to a radial to make them work well.

Yea, I hadnt realised they were quite so different. Think I will stick with the standard choice Toyo T1R's as they seem to offer good performance for a reasonable price.
