Trackday tyres
Well, I was quite happy with my Marangoni Vantos in terms of grip on the
road and very impressed with their wet grip on the track. However, I've done around 400 road miles and 200 track miles on a set of 4 and 2 are just about illegal (on the nearside), 2 are OK for a thousand or so road miles (but would be shot in one session on the track). That makes things a tad expensive, even at 40 quid a corner. Any ideas if there are some decent alternatives out there which would last more than 2 track days?

Can you get some like > this? I've seen solid tyres on a Silver Cross too. They would look good as they are white, but the wheels are a bit smaller, so you might have to file down your rims a bit! |
