Iain's 20XE Trackday Nova

[Iain]

Yep Camskill, £32 a tyre plus postage

[RallyMarshal]

Worked out at £140 the set after postage, they performed very well on standing water on the road the other night so hopefully up to the job.

My cheap Michelin S9C slicks have lasted a couple of years now and still got 2 I've never fitted!

At Donington this Saturday so fingers crossed the weather holds off for a bit longer.

Got your snow tyres fitted?

Paul..

I plan to order some snow socks, although I think you can only do 30mph on them. House has his chains at the ready.

30mph is plenty fast enough for you if its not dry!

Not a bad price them, certainly cheaper then DMack W3's.

Still cant figure out why some of you trackdayers blast money on 888's and the like when you can get E marked inters for £100 a corner tho

I only paid I think £330 for 4 888's. Would be very interested in some proper inters thouhg if there's a link?!?

You'll have to find a supplier, but plenty motorsport parts places stock them. They good enough for WRC then they good enough for a track car.

Agreed, thanks Mike!!

I'd love to get hold of some of the Michellin slick inters that the Le Mans guys use. Many drivers have said they're amazing!!!

These look decent, obvioulsy no rating for wet but from the description, designed specifically for wet and greasy surfaces. Might give these a go instead of more rainsports next time!!!

R888's available here for £83 rated C in the wet

http://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rsh...n&typ=R-156525

and the new R888R for £90 Rated E in the wet though

Ah yea you guys run 15s dont you!

For big rims like 17 an 18 inch (Impreza & Evos etc) DMacks work out cheaper. 15 and 16 inch, popular sizes, there not cheaper then 888's

[House]

That's cool Mike, we've been searching for some decent inters, or I have atleast, not sure what the Elf is doing!!

[Mike]

Dont get me wrong there not the best money can buy but there far from shit!

For a relativly inexpensive outright track tyre there incredibly good. A lot of guys I know that do tarmac rallies swear by them based on cost vs performance.
