Tyres~what size do you use?

[frayz]

Im looking at buying a set of slicks for track use Stu.. any news on these..

Not really sure what to do regarding tyres..

I cant decide whether to drive onb road rubber and swap tp slicks or to get some road legal cut slicks

Do you mean slicks Frayz?

You will find that most tracks will only allow use of slicks with roll cages.

hi would that be full roll cages i.e 6 point or can you still use them with a 4 point (rear) cage?, as i have a 6 point one but have only fitted the back section for now as i dont fancy cutting through my dash just yet.
Thanks kev

Full Slicks - some insist on a cage (i know cadwell did)

Cut Slicks (road legal) ie Yoko A048 / Toyo R888 - no probs.

195/50/15's I've been a fan of using larger diameters in the past but now running 15's to fall in line with the MKII series regs.

just to add a few more tyre sizes in.

I also use 225/55/16 Dunlop D01J's as well as
225/45/17's F1's and 245/40/17's F1's.

Depending on what tyres I can get at the time.

Also 245/40/17 is on the poll twice
