Do you use a 7.5 all round Craig? Spacers on the front still for coilovers? | |

quote: What I'm saying is you probably won't notice any difference in handling between 245 and 255 Try a few track days on good road tyres first and see how you get on, with my ad08s the rears were part worn when I got the wheels and the fronts were new and they have done 2 days, drove too and from the track and used on the car for going shopping/out a run etc Rears still have another track day in them before they get to the wear markers and the fronts have another 2 or 3 days in them | |

V70as I did. £642. Thing which puts me off them is the tread depth, they are 'half worn' already! | |

Didn't expect to spend £550 on a set of posh road tyres either, proper track tyres will be £750 and last one track day as there's 2 of us driving it :( | |

225 all round would be fine but I have 8.5" rear wheels and they're too wide for those tyres. | |

quote: They are on the front currently havent done any track days yet. But they seem alright so far and i have been pushing it down the local B roads and i have nothing but positive things to say about them. I'd say they are better than PS3 in the dry 10 fold. Wet isnt nice but they have a similar patten to PS Cups which arnt nice in the wet either. For cheap rubber they are good! | |

you looked at syron's or RSR they get alright reviews. But then if you have spare wheels go for second hand sets | |
