Tyre Choice for TOTB

[ZR1forFun]

I've been considering what tyres to use for the 1.25 mile, mine are OK for dragging but not top speed runs, so I will need replacements.

I assume (hopefully not too optimistically) that I will need ZR tyres that are at least 'W'(168mph) rated.

What tyres did you guys run last year and what are you running this year?

I would have thought they would have had big boards put up to mark the 1 mile and 1.25 mile points.

How did they mark the 1.25 mile last time?

I'd hate to find out the hard way that I've overshot and run out of braking room....

That's handy to know VHR, I'd have kept going until I saw the gantry with 'Santa Pod' and 'Halfords' on it....

Cliff, I don't fancy looking down at 160 mph...
