Track Tyres

[nedski]

Always a contentious issue

Every tyre is a compromise ie, Wet grip, dry grip, wear rate etc.

So my vote for an all-rounder Track and road.

KUMHO KH31
Priced around £40
Great in the dry equivalent to a toyo tr1 not as sticky as 888's
In the Wet they are outstanding.
My friends Bob's Words " In the wet at Blyton I felt like a driving God overtaking everything"
In the wet at Cadwell today I had a similar experience but maybe not Godlike

I have a set of worn Yoko A048s. If it's wet I just let everyone overtake me and enjoy the scenery. If it's dry... well after the last track day I did at Abingdon I had a stiff neck for 3 days
They only cost me £100 for the set of 4. I'll be picking up another part-worn set in the next couple of weeks for the same price.

I used to love Hanlkook RS2 but they don't seem to be available now and the RS3 (which are supposed to be even better) aren't being imported

Tryes I've used

Federal FZ-201 one of the grippest Cut slicks ive every used
Toyo R888 they are grippy but can go off after a while and over heat quite quickly (they are a very old cut slick now)
Federal 595 RSR Great track day tyre in the wet and dry and can also be used as a road tyre
Nankang RS-2R Great fun tyre not as grippy in the dry as the 595 RSR but and i say a big But they are alot cheaper and i think they suit the mx5 since you can get the car to move about.

and as normal talk to Nick at MOT motorsport he's been testing all of these for a few years like my self.
