I have just fitted the 17” Mim’s and SO2’s to the car. Pete said they would be delivered today and they where. (Cheers Pete) Fitted three wheels and was opening the last when found all the new wheel bolts. Doh.
I am at a track meet on the 12th and would like to fit new tyres to my old 16” wheels as the P-zero’s that were on are completely bold. What tyres do you recommend being as I may do 3or 4 track meetings a year. More if I get hooked.

Bob.
If you have a spare set of rims and you're suspension is stiff enough, then I would think slicks would be your best option. Is that what you were thinking anyway?
Alternatively, fit some part-worns onto them.
I was running on part-worns at Donno yesterday and had the best day ever!
The tyres (2 Toyo, 2 P6000) never gave up once and were still legal to go home on!
The Eibach springs helped to though methinks!
What tracks will you be going on?

Stef.

If there was wheel changing facilities at all the tracks I would go for slicks but as there is quite often nothing and considering I am a lazy b@st@rd I would like tyres that are road legal just in case I am too tired to change them at the end of the day.
Just fitted the 4 Mim’s and I am completely worn out must go to bed early tonight.
