I need a set of wets and dry tyres. Must have tread on them though no slicks.

Whats the cheapest best around there at the moment. Remember I'm st so the tyres are unlikely to make a difference for me finishing 2nd last.

Normally a super corsa and metz wets fan, but I'm feeling spicy. Cheap and awesome.

There's a new Bridgestone R11 treaded track tyre out now so look for deals on R10's.

Heidenau K73 is a great wet, and the K80 is a brilliant dry weather tyre

The Avon AM26 Roadrider is also a worthy contender. Don't let the name fool you, it's plenty good on track, and can be used after lunch aswell

I suppose you should never discount LingLong as a quality alternative. They don't have the pedigree of a Heidenau but the quality is really improving, and the price is phenomenal

Get a soldering iron on some scrubs, be awesome and make you're own wets for almost no cost at all, you tightwad!

BTW, Hope the nurses are hotter than the hospital food, but that's always a racing certainty hehe

Mckeann your wealth of knowledge on stey tyres knowns no bounds.

When I said cheapest I mean the cheapest in the track group around the £250-300 mark

I should expand, I've ran sort of road/track based tyres before, or used scrubs.

But i'm after just a race tyre now.

Ahhhh, just a race tyre. Gotcha. The Dunlop KR (king racer) Racer McRaceyface is the one that you want.

Silly me for recommending the Dunlop KR Racer McRaceyface. You said no slicks. You want the Dunlop D (for diabolical) 213

I reckon he wants race tyres to race you Neil. I think he wants to be the big Blue Cheese from over the boarder.

Everyone knows I'm the BIG cheese. Although I prefer a Brie or a spicy chilli cheddar.

Rain sorted I've went for my usual metz

or

bridgestone R10 at £285

or

michelin power cup evo at £265 fitted.

I have no idea why I am telling you's all this as no ones listening, and we all know I'm going for the cheapest.

What's the fking point. Metzlers have to be the worst wet tyre ever. And you keep buying them. I give up

Love a bit of cheese and cracker action. fk it. That's my lunch sorted.

Oh, and for anyone who actually cares about Alex's question. Michelin wets. Always. Dunlop dries. Or maybe a Bridgestone if you like how the front feels. I don't.
