Hi

Looking for a new set if tyres for track use (but ok to drive to and from track) on MR2 Turbo - probably 17 205/40 to 215/40 front and 225/40 to 255/40 rear.

Not bothered about ultimate grip given - want a set that will last.....heard Federal RSRs are quite good...any other views?

Also any decent part worn sources in north London / Herts.

Cheers


Paul

Just put federal 595 RSRs on the front of my focus RS
Were brilliant at Rockingham the other day
Have to make sure they are warm though

Should get a fair bit of wear out of them although won't be the longest lasting

AD08, I managed 5 trackdays and 10k road miles on one set. In contrast, I've done a pair of nearly new Avons in one day on the rears. There's a big difference between something designed for road and track, and something just for road.
Apparently Pilot SuperSport are excellent too, not available in 17" sizes in the UK though frown
