Thinking of lightness of car and wall issues

Would Bridgestone Roadmax or falkens be usable

Obviously Rainsport 3 and Toyos are

I can vouch for Falken 452's as had these on my car until a month or so ago. However, they may not make this model any more as they were 5 years old when I replaced them. Have just fitted Yokohama ADR08's and they are stunningly good. On the Lotus track last Sunday they made a significant difference to the handling and grip thumbup

Depending on what wheel sizes you have these might be worth a look smile

Chimpongas and DangerousDerek are both in love with Rainsport 3s. Chimpongas is a road user, but a keen one, while Derek is king of the drag strip. He doesn't use the Rainsports on the strip, but does a lot of miles living in Cumbria, and is well impressed with both wet and dry grip. I have them fitted on my Saab - awesome in all weathers.

Matt Poxon, a Grief owner, has the ADR08s fitted and loves them on both road and track.
Alternatively, If you want a cost effective tyre available in lots of sizes, try Feredal 595 RS-Rs. Good on both road and track.
And in the Toyo range there is R1-R, good in wet and dry, but a little more expensive and the sizes are restricted.

I removed a set of 452`s with 6mm on them and sold them.

Replaced with Rainsports ,noticed a massive difference ,the rainsports blow the falkens away.
