Hi Mark,

I borrowed a set of these tyres from Plan B to use at the strip a few months ago.

I give them the thumbs up, In my auto of the mark & 1-2 shift i did not break traction.

I would definately put them on my shopping list, they are very hard to get in Australia.

There is about 0.5 to 0.7 of a second advantage with the 17inch nittos I borrowed at the track last time out over standard radial tyres. My tyres were stuffed Brigestone SO 3's.

Went from 12.5 to 12.0 with quicker times available in sub 35 degree temps.

Great alternative to slicks as you can drive home:burnout:

I‘ve seen these on a lot of cars. With different set-ups and power, gear ratios, stall speeds etc. They are good.

They are almost as good as a good set of 28” x 8” x 15” slicks. All in all, I’d say around 85% as good.

Where can you buy them from? Do they compare to the new tyre from Michelin/BFG with is supposed to compare to the Nitto?

[pdv666]

I don't think you can buy them in Australia.
Send CnC a PM. he brought some into Australia to sell.

The tyres will have the desired affect which is to find that elusive 2/10th’s
