Default Trackday tyres wanted: not road tyres!

I'm looking for some 205/50/16 competition tyres for trackday use. They must be quite hard compound, not really bothered what make.

Have you tried Carlisle wheel and tyre? They usually have cheap 2nd hand slicks. Just hope Elvington is dry

mark, maybe try the new Toyo's (888s) then you can drive there and back on them. there are usually some new sets on ebay for sensible money.

I know where I can get a shed load of tarmac rally tyres from the suzuki works cars if you can find 17" rims , which incidentally I also have for sale.

I have a set of 16" Michelin SA6 circuit slicks which have done two track days and have plenty of life left in them.

Cost c£450 but will take £200 (£50 each).

E-mail me at stuart.butler@heritage.co.gg if of interest.
