Ive said it before and I'll say it again, anything less than a Goodyear F1 is a waste of a good car. Spend your money on a real performance gain, and not on "bling brakes and lights and interior etc.
Just my two-penneth worth

PS
I should soon have a set of standard 15" wheels with 2 x225/50R15 Yoko's - 1 205/50R15 Mich and 1 205/50R15 Yoko for sale. Any interest to any one ?

If you put me some nice rain/wet track tyres on 'em (and if you can't, who can!), we might have a deal.
These will compliment my four standard Toyo R888 dry tyres for the Flying Cat.

Do you have any tyre regulations to conform to in your class/category ? if
so I'll try to get a price on them, but most racing / track tyres are now controlled by just a few "key dealers".
I'm probably teaching my grandmother to suck eggs here but remember not to go too wide for the available power. For competition use it's a balance that needs to be reached. I managed to get several tyre sizes homologated for Chris Meeks Europa but the fastest combination was 145R13 front and 165/70R13 rear. Only for gearing did we go to larger tyres.
Oh, and also I would think twice about a "full" harness without a full roll cage in your moggy. Sorry , flying cat.

Homologated harness and seat are in. Roll cage to follow.
I'll send you a list of all authorised tyres.
Cheers Jim.
