Best place to get decent tyres?

[sambo]

After the track day and even driving like a pussy, my tyres are on their way out. Can anyone recommend a place to get decent sticky tyres from? Mine are 205/50 16"

It's just the ones i have seen so far are REALLY pricey! around £150 each!!!

If you do loads of laps at a time then go for Radials .. if you do 10-15 sessions then you can use crossplies too.. but set your front toe in straight ahead

 

If you want treads for the wet.. get BMTR to cut the tyres .. around £15 a tyre, and Mention me please

Good link though mate

It will be cheaper for him to run 2 sets of tyres .. what ever he uses on the road will be eaten up in a day at the track.. a proper race tyre will last longer, that A31 compound is medium soft .. so will last a while ..

 

where as he could keep paying out 120-150 a corner for road tyres each trackday .. I know i wouldnt ..

 

One thing though, if you do go to slicks tyres and you dont run a baffled/gate valve sump .. or dry sump, get an Accusump fitted in your oil lines .. or you will blow the bottom end.
