    WTF, how have you managed that, mine have worn down quicker just driving on the road

    New tyres went on the week before Eurofest in Sept, and they now have about 3ish mm left on them

    Not sure tbh, I only use the Rainsports when its wet, so the wear on them is uber minimal

    When its damp/dry/hot I'm on 888s

    Still mega happy with how much I've had out of them, definately my favourite road legal wet tyre... however after speaking to some of the stock hatch drivers at the weekend, they ride on Dunlop S9 Wets, but these are not road legal

    Sadly no report / Videos from me on Brands but it was £125 per car inc 1 driver ~ open pit for the day. A friend's car without cam mount so didn't bother. Nor did I take any pics of the selection of 2L novas there ~ 4 white, 1 orange which broke in the last hour.

    Chewed the fat with him early in the morning he was claiming some big HP figures yet still ran the standard exhaust manifold. The chassis on it wasn't without pitch either; I've seen less roll in a bakery. The other novas were on the pace but seemed to shy away from running correct offset wheels for some reason.

    Wider offset, i.e out of the arches or thinner offset?

    Yeah some fairly nasty TSW action was present complete with abused arches.

    I'll be honest with you the standard wasn't what some might deem 'show caliber'. But that said it did look like they'd had a few Kalibers before going out lapping as they did.

    ahhh I see, the bad kind of deviating from standard offset, as in cluelessly Wider offset would push the wheels out further effectively shortening the wheelbase (same effect) which makes it twitchier/turn on a 6 pence ! TSW action doesn't really imply the consideration
