i dropped a normal road tyre off to mark last night (235/30/18) and that was £280s worth
hate to think what a normal bus tyre costs let alone one that'll be up to track spec. anyway bus' are a pita sitting at 50mph tops, blocking the roads and kicking out shed loads of thick black fumes.

Do you remember the days before speed limiters when you'd struggle to overtake a coach doing 100mph along the M1

I did Harlow to Nurburg on one tank last week, I was quite surprised. I thought I would keep my speed down as l was fined €175 for speeding Belgium in January.
