Ditto :lol:

Although in all fairness no ones tyres worked that well on the damp morning track

255/40/17 or 245/40/17 at a pinch.

A long standing aquaintance is regional manager for a national tyre company. After a few conversations he has confirmed that he should be able to offer very competitive pricing on Toyo tyres with a chance of a discount on Bridgestone stuff too. He wants to know the potential style and volume of business before he puts his final hand on the table. This info will help me give him a more complete picture of the likely business we may do. By mid January, we should all know what we are doing.

245/35 on fronts and 265/35 on rear at the moment but soon to be larger 275+ on rear but will stay on 245/35 on front as the turn in feels great and the front end grip is very good.

275 would be great and i'm a great fan of the toyo t1r tyre 8) 8) another great tyre and infact what is regarded as the best tyre all round by many mags is the bridgestone potenza p zero rosso 8) so 275/35 and 245/35 in either of those two :D 8) :grin:

I am running 275/35/18 but would also consider 285/35/18.

This is great news as i am considering Toyo tyres for my next set.
