What width / profile tyres for track racing?
 

Final point of call on the car is new rubber - at the moment ive got 4 mismatches on that wont do!

However I'm not 100% clued up on what is best r.e. tyres for track use. (will have to be semi slick at a max as dont have a trailer yet)

Do i want to stretch the tyre out (i.e low profile) or do i want a thicker profile ?

Do i want different profiles on front/back or all the same?

The rims are 17" x ?? width (will have to measure), but im assuming its around the 225 mark for the tyre

Any reccomendations? Currently looking at some Toyo Proxes but its a minefield out there

bump - anyone?

Dont stretch tyres if your doing track work. Ideally you want tyres with a sturdy sidewall that can take the beating that tracks provide.

From info given by other 'enthusiastic drivers' I believe the STi specified Bridgestone RE070 would suit perfectly...

Got some on my spare wheels ;)
