Fitted track wheels tonight to test

Featured Replies

Sure feels odd driving on semi slick rubber. Can actually feel the difference in how much tougher it is to turn the wheel. Wheels are nice sexy (light) team dynamics pro race 3. The Superlegs are off to be "super cleaned"

Just a shame I can't use them in anger on Saturday, eh? ;)

I know one thing for sure. I am driving to Prague on normal road tyres. I think economy will suffer using these on a roadtrip. Grippy does not begin to describe them (Hard compound Kuhmo V70A tyres)

Oh, and caliper clearance I measured as "a miss is as good as a mile!" I might use the 3mm spacers I use with the superlegs....

Glad you like them Jason! The V70a will run rings around any road tyre when pushing on. I found them good in the wet too but not big puddles of standing water.

I would run them at 30psi front and 27psi rear on the track (cold) for good results.Add 3psi for road use.

Hello stranger! Funny you should pop in on the evening I fit these :D

I did notice one tyre was on the opposite rotation to the other 3, but this is probably to wear out evenly.

Was the caliper clearance that "close" when you had them fitted too? Any problems with heat build up on track comprimising that gap?

awesome tyre have 4 in the garage ;-)

run the spacers as that gap mighdecrease with heat build up !!

if you think they feel grippy now wait until you warm them up whoop whoop mental

Snap!

Snap? Ahem, white vs black?! :p

Clearance looks similar to what i had.I have tarox b32 6 potters though. Never any problems with heat build up. 2mm of clearance is plenty! You could use a thin spacer if you want but looking at your pics there's no need.

I swapped tyres around to balance wear btw and am told there is no problem doing that with these tyres and i've used 2 sets like this with no problems.

The wheels on my car lol!

Did a few miles tonight to golf course and back. Lets just say my favourite bit of twisty was done quicker tonight than I have done before. ;) Awesome tyres! :D

Get the old wheels back on please :( lol

Once cleaned up I'll be refitting them. Will probably use the 15mm spacers I can't seem to sell on the back for a bit more poke. :D
