The old Eagle Tourings on the Thunder stood up well to both Ford Fair and Trax, given the very warm conditions. ;

Slightly OT, but I'm thinking about these for my next track biased tyres:

There's only one way to do a track day and it isn't in a car.

Brands Indy circuit taken in August.

Have been thinking of taking the Duke on a track day. Maybe we should do a Bike v Puma track day.

So your going to take BBC Bargain Hunt's David Dickinson to the track day then!!

I think the R888's are mainly for dry use. We are probably going to try these instead of the Yoko A032R's which we currently run.

We are going to buy a set of T1-R's for wet use as Turby was 10th quickest overall on T1-S's at one of the sprints, and that was against Scoobys and Evos and even sinlge seater race cars! The R's have been improved even more, so should be even better

Count me in for that...

I would chuck 'em. The grip levels currently offered by my 1.7mm P7000's are quite scary, they would probably take the fun away from the track day anyway as you would have to corner a fair bit slower compared to if you had newish tyres.

Davd you cheap skate - I replaced the front ones on 44 when they got to 3.1mm.

And who said ouch at £115 per tyre - try my 225/35/zr17 for the smart - they may make me whince a little though.

Ha ha, I get my money's worth out of tyres. Me dad only replaced his front's yesterday when I pointed out the fabric showing through on the edges. :rotflmao: :shock: They cost £450 for two though. :eyes:
Def. want to get Yokohama ones. 8)

only the canvas ? ... not trying hard enough... he should have waited for the belts to start rusting ...

You could always keep the old tyres in the boot with a can of petrol ready for the next speed camera!
