Wheel choice for race and MSA stuff

[clee]

Time has come to start thinking about wheels and tyres for the GTA .We have a bigger brake setup but they still might get behind 15" steelies ( need to fire off some dims to some yanks )
Std GTA is 15" 195/50 fronts and 255/45 rears but the rears are feckin stupid money at over £200 a tyre .
Options are poss 15" all round if calipers fit but I'm limited to 225/50 on the rears or 15" front with 16" rear and I can go up to 245 or 16" all round :confused:
The GTA always feels/handles better on the smaller rims but I've not really raced it for any length of time ie over a season .
Don't want to be shelling out huge dosh for odd sized tyres so they need to be a normal sort of price for MSA 1A/1B road going .

The RTOC is looking to get MSA registered for motorsport participation and will be looking for a competition CM to handle this and help members with these sorts of queries so applications with your input please or PM one of the CM's .
Registration will mean that members will be able to enter events without having to join the organising bodies in some cases .

Clee, google slicks tyres motorsport , the guy is great and has pretty much the cheapest list 1B tyres around. The Mk 1 and 2 escorts all use quite wide 15" tyres, but they are all expensive, it costs me £276 a pair for Dunlop x22 (soft), but when compared to the other cr@p on the market they put them to shame (standfast the Khumos).

I am taking on the secretary role for my motorsports club, and would happily help out as required.

What series are you planning to compete in?

MartinF and I are hoping to get into this this year but lots to prep to do including ourselves .We may make one or two races late in the series :coffee:

With regards the MSA stuff we need someone to hold hands and point in direction rather than be a rules guru ;) someone with experience in competition would be ideal .
It's all a bit scary at first glance but with someone in the club willing to help I'm sure we would see a lot more members flying up hills ,round tracks and through forests :devil:

We need someone to submit the application and deal with the MSA side off things as well as be there to offer advice :agree:
