ok ive decided that im going to try the r888 this season, never used them before, im going for these due only to the overall diameter. im going for the 225/45/13 which gives me a diameter of 529mm.
if anyone knows a tyre as wide or wider with a lower diameter please let me no but it must be on the 1b list.
i cannot go any taller as these are 29mm taller than the tyres i use at the moment which are avon 20/9/13 slicks.

ok that aside there going on an all steel metro, weighs around 650kg. front wheel drive, about 170 bhp. i think the medium compond on the front. what do you think.
soft medium
hard
and oh yes 20 min races.

Not sure about the first part as i use 18" but defo use GG medium compound as the softs will go off very quickly and will probably only last a race where as the GG will last you quite a few races,my GG 888's are on a 400BHP car 910kg and will last for a least 5 x 40mins races.

hello ive seen the khumo s and in an ideal world id go for these. but.

the rear of the metro can take a max diameter of 505 mm, which means the only tyre for the rear is a yoko a048r 175 50 13, which isnt quite wide enough but i have no other option, the 175 50 13 is no were near the wide i need at the front so im gonna have to mix tyres and the toyo r888 225 45 13 which is similar to the yoko. i cannot fo any taller than tis 529mm
