Knew they were going to be in gold too hahahaaaaa!

Gonna look brilliant mate, what tyres will you be running?

Haha of course! Undecided, was looking at R888's as they do a 45 profile in a 225 but they go off quite quickly, so back to the drawing board at the mo on that front.

AD08's are more a road tyre than a track tyre so it won't be those. I was looking at the Federals but they don't do them in the sizes we want..

It's going to be either R888, A048R's or the Dunlop DZ03 but we'd then have to go down to a 215..

Yea I'm surprised no one had done it before, had an eye on them for mine, but we needed something wide for this too, so they've gone on here. I think loads of people would of had them by now but none of the UK suppliers stock them it seems.

and after many many debates on tyres I have chosen these....

hardly anyone does a decent width 15" tyre so limited on choice, sidewalls of 888 aren't meant to be great and they app. go off after 3/4 hot laps but I will give them a try and see how i get on!



Si.

Is a sign from the ep gods that you should of gone with the yoko A048 :(

yeh, they only offer a 50 profile though and they are in excess of £1000 for a set vs toyo.... they will be abit better but i don't think they will be worth twice the price ( give or take ) / twice as good as the 888 but we will see in time :)
