Default What Tyres

Who is wearing what on theirs! I have the same old, same old decision of practicality / performance dilema. Not sure what to go for?

Any thoughts greatly welcome

it depends on what type of driving your planning, road tyres don't really cut it on track , trackday tyres can be a libility on the road, my classic currently wears 215/40/17 Kendas they are cheap and nasty but OK on the road, my plan will be to have a second set of rims with R888s for the track.

I have a 2001 WRX that has had very simple minor mods. I an hoping to get a pick up soon. But I have not yet put it on the track as I have a Honda accord typeR which has done some track stuff but is off limits now as a complete F#@*ing idiot slammed into the back of it. So I maybe using the scooby or typeR as a track / road car. Not sure yet. But back on point the scooby is a road car at the mo so I need a tyre that is grippy / long lasting. If there is such a thing!?!? Sick of throwing money on rubber as tyres are too soft and not seeing that much life out of um. I dont drive like I stole it, but not slow by any means, but when the corners arrive there aint much slowing down involved.
Just want a tyre that does all the things you want it to in all areas, good not excellant. Know what I mean?????????
