Trackday Tyres
Trackday Tyres
Ok, after finishing off my Avon ACB10s at Mallory, I need replacements. Various people mentioned the Yokos (soft not very soft) but I can't recall the number or where to get them from. What about the Toyo R888s.<br>
<br>
All suggestions welcome.

Re: Trackday Tyres
Not too sure about how good the Toyos are, but...<br>

Have a pretty good price if they are any good. Although I'm not sure if I got the dimensions right on the tyre (185/60R13V)

Re: Trackday Tyres
Yoko A032R's in soft compound (not supersoft) or if your feeling flush some dunlop formula r's.<br>
<br>
Demon Tweeks sell them all but locally I think Bridge Tyres might do them also - a bit more local<!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.bridgetyres.co.uk" target="top">www.bridgetyres.co.uk</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br>

Re: Trackday Tyres
Or, more of a budget tyre but I have the same brand on the TVR.<br>

I'm really impressed with them. Got to be worth a go, would save you having to change wheels as well.<br>

Re: Trackday Tyres
How about <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.tyresdirectuk.co.uk/xcart/cu ... php?cat=23" target="top">Colway</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->. Good enough for Porsche so they should do the trick for occasional track use on a Dolly, nice and cheap too.

Re: Trackday Tyres
They used to suffer delaminated problems as Colway are (were?) remoulded tyres. I think they have got over that now though.<br>
<br>
I've been speaking to a couple of people and have been hearing very positive about the Toyo 888's.<br>

Re: Trackday Tyres
Why don't you try Dunlop D84J Formula R?

Dunlop D84J
Where's the best place to get them? Do you PHTC racers get them cheap(er) as Dunlop sponsor the series?<br>

Re: Dunlop D84J
HP Tyre exchange, Forge Garage, Church Way, Whittlebury, NN7 2LN. (Near Silverstone)<br>
<br>
01327 857000<br>
<br>
Can't remember getting a discount. Worked out about £75 per tyre as opposed to £55 per tyre for the AO32 Yoko's I had.<br>

Re: Dunlop D84J
Thanks for that Scott. How long do they last by the way?<br>

Re: Dunlop D84J
I would imagine Ken can answer that more accurately but I've been told at least one season.<br>
<br>
(I've only done maybe 40 laps on mine so far and they hardly look used at all.)<br>

Colway
I'm with dollysteve on this - Colway come highly recommended. <br>
<br>
I just can't get any in 185/85 R13, which sadly I need. I only have one inch clearance between my exhaust and the road...<br>
<br>
For mainstrem tyres, the place to shop is <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.mytyres.co.uk" target="top">www.mytyres.co.uk</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> IMO - german bunch, cheap tyres, free delivery. (Next day for the ones I ordered) <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->
<p>1978 Dolomite Sprint 3.5 V8<br>
1976 MG Midget (mint, for sale)<br>
1794 RWA MG Midget (K-Series VVC project)</p><i></i>

Yokohama
I've got a part worn set of Yokohama A032Rs (soft) on the way. Should tied me over for a few trackdays. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Re: Yokohama
You will love them. They seem stickier than the Dunlops but then they obviously wear quicker. I would have given you a shot of mine but they are already promised to another.<br>

Re: Yokohama
I was speaking with Graeme's bro-in-law at CC the other week and I mentioned the Toyo R888s. He knows someone who is using them and says they are brilliant. About £56 each is the cheapest I've seen them.
