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

From info given by other 'enthusiastic drivers' I believe the STi specified Bridgestone RE070 would suit perfectly...
Got some on my spare wheels
£400 and you can take them all away I would even drive the 500m to your house and drop them off for FREE
