What tyres should I be looking at?

[stumpeater]

G'day, We use the R888 on our track day car (Turbo Nissan Gazelle) in 16", and although noisy when pushed, compared to Bridgestone Semi slicks we had before, and maybe not quite as grippy, they are certainly very good value for $$. I read a tyre comparison report in December Motor Magazine, and they were not rated as good in the wet,( I have not used them in the wet as we put road tyres on for wet days.) They will certainly be on top of my shopping list when the time comes, as I hope never to test out the wipers on the Cobra, (But I do live in Melbourne) Peter.

I went for the Kuhmo KU36 on my car.

The car is not completed yet, but I went to moved the tyres the other day when it was stinking hot, they had stuck to the ground and when I was rolling them along the ground picked up every peace of rubbish that I had on my floor. I have since thrown away the broom!!!.

I got 245/45 and 315/35 on 17"s. I only had two choices in the rear size being Sumitomo and Kuhmo, well 3 including Pirelli at double the cost, so I went for the KU36's.

I will let people know how they go in a couple of months, but I can't complain about the price.

I got mine from a local mob, Liza tyres in Bayswater, $330ea fitted. Good guys and looked after my rims. Took them 2 days to get them from warehouse.
