Are these tyres GT3 sizes?

[doctorpepper]

Was dead busy at work

and I found this site with some cheap Dunlop SSR's not sure if they are a GT3 size but if they are then good hunting!

Nope, don't fit

Errr... well the 265's do actually fit. When Dan ran out of 285's last year quite a few people used the 265 as a stopgap and there is little overall difference when you show it a tape measure.

Bigger problem is he hasn't got any suitable sizes for the fronts!

Heard a rumour that Dunlop may make a few this year (from a guy at Camskill) but as all distributors go through Dan anyway - then he's the Man!

Have a chat with him - a veritable mine of info on Dunlops...

lol 265s on rims that are meant to fit 295s, they must look a bit silly

Are the rims smaller on the mk1? (11J rear on mk2)

Dan

10J on the rears of a MK1. Helps counteract tendency to spin

So??? Watcha got Doc??? Mk1 or Mk2???

BTW - At Silverstone today the tyre support guys (Trackside Motorsport had some tasty looking Hankook Ventus Z211... meant to be a road legal competition tyre that is set to be the best thing to hit the trackday scene.... (well, he would say that!).

Anyone had experience of this tyre???

different compounds too. fancy some track rubber for mine this year, though may need new wheels on a mk1? (excuse for some bbs from parr!)
