Not sure Phil. They may be a newer design I suppose but the 2012 model looked like this

No, not Maxsport. Although the company making them does have links to rallying.

The reason i ask about the weight is i have seen the maxsport ones at autosport last year and they were soooo heavy .

Seems these may be a good alternative.

Stupid question but I take it they're as bad in the wet as they look...

Currently running AD08's which I find bloody awesome wet or dry but always after something stickier if it can get me to the track in the wet

Maxsport and Colway's always used to be remoulds mate, so you would be right there/

Can't see anyway in Hell that these would be any good in standing water but damp or light rain and they should be OK (but then I always thought R888's were ok in those conditions too)

Not Colways or Maxsports. These are new tyres.

You guys are just confusing yourselves. Just wait till i have more info for you ok.

Weighed the 225/45/17 sample at 10kg. Not bad considering that to create a stiff sidewall is bound to add a bit of weight.

Hi Eddie are these tyres available in 275/40/17 or 275/35/18 as 275 is the widest i can fit without taking a grinder to the bodywork. Pete:Chevy_anim:

I think these only go up to 225's but as I don't know what the make or model of tyres are, you may want to take that with a pinch of salt Pete
