Bought some 225/50 for my Mini Project from Houser Racing. They where 20 points softer than the Ascar Slick they had next to them. You can leave your thumb nail mark in it.
They do a 335/30/18, but they are alittle expensive, as in nearly £900 for a Pair. The 225s I bought where £345 a Pair.
A Must for the 0-100-0 runs......

Ive messed around with the suspension, tracking camber, fitted antiroll bars for the last 4 years on my sport to try to get rid of gross understeer and loads of power oversteer.
So i reduced my rear rim size to 10' They were 12 " X17 and you could only get a truck tyre for them.
This gave me a better range of tyres to choose from so i went for Dunlop Formula R 16' on the front (yep I know its old and youve all got big 18" wheels onGTRs etc) Ive just done aTrack day at LeMans and Dijon and it pissecd off GT3 Rs s and wsa only 3 secs slower round Le M than the latest radical. Its cured oversterr and under steer and grips like spiderman. They are crap in the wet though so ive got some Goodyear F1s for then which I havent tried yet. Will let u know

Hi Duble Pumper,
Glad to meet another Sports owner. Your blue sport was one of the very first ultimas that I fell in love with on Ultima's website. I always loved the racing stripes and the blue/silver combination. Ted told me that those stripes were a real pain to layout and shoot. I think I've saved every photo of your car off Ultima's website. It really gave me a lot of inspiration before I purchased my sports. Glad to see it has served you well.
Cheers!
