    Re: tyres

    I think uniroyal rainsport 2 will be best option 160quid for 4 on eBay. I pld with the idea of r888s but wet weather put me off them.

    Shhh, you're not allowed to mention the search function! Or is that another thing that only I'm not allowed to mention?

    As said in the linked thread, people (myself included) have had good experiences with Toyo T1R's on the gtt.

    Re: tyres

    Toyo T1-r's are best value for money. Go for either 195 45 15's or 195 50 15's and you can't go far wrong. If your feeling flush go for the Goodyear eagle F1 GSD 3's...

    No, it's about road AND track tyres

    The T1R's are a road tyre, not a track tyre.
