Sticky tyres.

[carob]

As mentioned by Wyn, I think i sholud get some top quality sticky performance tyres for the wedge.

What do you guys recommend?

..Good tyres for good grip...It might be a raging beast but even they need comfortable shoes to run about in..

Hi Rob i've just bought the SX a new set of boots, in the end i went for a set of Toyo T1R's but they are getting hard to find bud !!

Not the lovely Nankangs I have on mine............
Not the grippiest of tyres not that it really matters at the moment as I am still getting used to the car, and I will probably use them up on a trackday later in the year, lots of sideways fun

[keatsie]

Toyo.... Excellent tyre!!

[jmorgan]

Toyo if the size is there, not quite as good as the old Bridgstones and slight less give in the side wall I think. Did have Falkens but for the price and what you get, I went back to Toyo.

Toya's will give you the safe handling lasted 8 thou in the rear. Now trying the yoko's ok to date not much difference so far.

The difference rear tyres can make on a Wedge is remarkable. Both my 400SE & my 450SE were absolutely lethal road cars with crap tyres on the back. Spinning the rears in the first three gears in a straight line!
I'd be very tempted to put trackday tyres on there Rob...
Are they 15's?

Only get 3 out of mine on the rear. Must be doing something wrong.

That's what I used to get. I think we're using them properly Jeff.

[jmorgan]

Better tests these to the end to be sure when I get it back


Had some Yoko's once, not sure what they were apart from round and black but they were deadly in the wet. Great in the dry though.

Got Potenza 040's on the Chimp at the mo & they're awesome. . 17's on the back though, makes a big difference.

Can't stop watching these vids...

Absolute dream car Rob.

Went from SO3's to Toyo for some reason, think they stopped the SO3 at the time so looked around for the next best.

Do they still do the toyo R888's as had those on my last griff and they were bloody amazing but as has been said only about 3-4000 miles - stick as hell tho

[marcus1875]

yeah toyo r888. got goodyears on now but the r888 were much better.

[Toltec]

Have a look at the Toyo R1R, they work really quite well in the wet too.

I try to use them properly but I do at least 4 thou a year, I put it down to the weekend. Drivers. Well that's my excuse.

[chedder]

Toyo 888's on my old beastie...stick like st to a blanket but.......dont think they are now recognised as road legal if they are manufactured after a certain date, you would need to check up on it.

Forgot to mention......they also have a habit of tramlining too!
