Quiet tyres
 
This may sound like a strange question....

We currently run T1R Toyos on the Eunos track car- which we love as its just so sublimely (is that a word?) drifty- BUT- they're real noisy.

I'm not a great fan of tyre squeal, so can anyone recommend anything quieter when going sideways?

I'd guess a softer tyre will make less noise. Gut reaction is scraping something hard over a rough surface will make more noise than scraping something soft. R888s are expensive but well soft, wear quickly, but don't squeal that I've noticed but windows wound up on Scoob. No adverse comment from Javelin at Elvington with these.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately they're not only far too expensive, they're also far too grippy for the Eunos.

What size tyres on the eunos?
Think there are a few places on fleabay that do 888's in 195/55/15 for just over 400 quid, which is pretty reasonable :)

I've found some of the dunlop range to scream less than I'm used to, Sport Maxx notably.

Just a thought but Javelin use MX5s as their track hire cars. Why not give Colin at Javelin a ring and ask his views on tyres. 01469 560574
