Well there on.............and my god there noisy on the road

I have just bought another set of wheels to put normal tyres on to drive out there as they would drive me mad on a motorway! Plus a back up should the weather go bandy is not such a bad idea

Cant wait to test them on the track now.

loud, tramline etc...

Anyone after 255/45/17 R888's? We have a stock pile :/


A good bit of negative camber will get the tyres working much better on track

I hav just put 1 degree of neg on the rear but it needs a big mod involving cutting the top of the turrett off to put some solid adjustable top mounts in........a job for the winter me thinks

They do whine And drone a bit. Certainly more noticable in a stripped car.
