Track Day Tyres
I know there have been many posts but I am going to ask anyway.
I have a MY06 Spec C, I have bought it for track days only (no real road use, too hard core) & want to buy a full set of 235-40-18 tyres.
Which tyre would you recommend, I want a balance between good grip both in the wet & dry & also a tyre that is going to last a few track days & not wear out after a few laps.
Where is the cheapest place to buy (I guess mail order is the cheapest), I can get them fitted no problem, SIDC have the Yokos A048 are these cheap ?
Cheers
