I just won some 8-13 BBS e68 on ebay. What track day rubber do you guys recomend? Yokohama A048 175/50-13 is recomended on max 6,5-13 and the Avon 7.0/21.0-13 (195/50-13) ACB10 can be used up to 7,5-13 This is going to be fitted to my G40 squareback, so need to have a farily low overall diameter. 205/45-13 would be perfect[:^(] but are not made AFAIK
Hi ,I used to run some SB20 Michelins on my Mk1 Escort with RS500 running gear back in the early nineties,that was on 10x13 rims,I do not know if they are still availlable now?otherwise go for the Avons I have a set of the 15" ACB-10's on my track wheels ,they are superb!!
Hi,You cannot really use either the Michelin or Avon for normal road use as they have a sidewall message stating that. perhaps a Yoko or Toyo Proxy would be better?
Anyone have a clue on if the 210/510-13 here would be suitable for dry track or road in the hardest compound http://www.matador.sk/index.cfm?Module=ActiveWeb&page=WebPage&s=sports TYRE SIZE TREAD PATTERN RECOMMENDED COMPOUNDS NOTICE 210 / 510 R13 SLICK, RAIN 510 210 230 8.0 D11, D13 / W14 Recommended use soft Compound hard Surface CIRCLE, HILL / ASPHALT D11 D13 D15 dry asphalt, hil RALLYE / ASPHALT R1 R3 R5 dry asphalt CIRCLE, HILL, RALLYE / WET W14 rain, wet road, asphalt RALLYE / GRAVEL R11 R13 R15 gravel, unconsolidated surface AUTOCROSS / GRAVEL S17 S18 gravel, unconsolidated surface AUTOCROSS, RALLYE / ICE, SNOW Z1 Z3 ice, snow
Unfortunatyely, I can't run slicks on trackdays for road cars over here, as general road laws still aply. Teoretically we are not allowed to drive faster than 80 kp/h, but nobody cares......
I'm using Indy Sport tyres on my track Scirocco, amazing in the wet, don't be tempted to cut them unless there is standing water. I use Maxsports on my Elise and they are ok, don't feel as good as the Indy's though. Price/grip ratio is pretty good for both of them... Brunty
Unfortunately Indy and Maxsport does not have tyre suitable for 8" rim Looks like the closest is 200/530R13 CR311 Dunlop or Kumho CO3. Not sure how these are for the road though......
michelin TB15....the dogs bits and fully road legal http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/michelintb15.php or http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/productPage.php?productID=2052&categoryFilename=michelintb15.php
specialist stuff.....special price won loads of road rallies just recently since they have been re-introduced and there is not much on the market any more in 13" that is wide
Think Im going to have a look for a compromise, 888s are good but a pair of fronts for one day is a bit much, rears did 2 days but I dont think they do that with the banana, heavy footed I know
