[dave600srad]

Just put "race tyres" into Goggle and there's quite a selection to choose from!!!
I got mine of Holbeach tyres when doing a track day at Cadwell and had them fitted on my spare rims, for just under £200.

...just missed out on some wheels and wets on ebay

Same story here matt:mad:

[sradmatt]

i bought my pirelli's from a focused events trackday for £165 a pair and i think there awesome!

I use Dunlop wets, which grip fine, but I haven't really used them much.

Previously I had Michi wets on my R1 and they were also superb, knee down in wet is SO cool

:thumbsup: i'l agree with that, feels so wrong at first!!!

Can't recommend Pirelli wets enuf. They are less "chunky" that mich/dunlops and dont get chewed up on aless than soaking track in the same way.

ie for trackdays if it dries up a bit you can still use 'em.

I use dunlops myself but thats because thery came with the bike, cant fault em though I've got an aircraft rear n a blocky front (not sure of the real names) blocky ones are supposed to be better for really wet tracks and the aircraft type for normal wet (thats what I've been told but its probably total bo!!ocks) looking at a set of Michelins at the moment though so may well be changing makes fingers crossed:thumbsup:

Like these but I think these are Mez's

Yeah could'nt remember how to spell pirrel....pirill........stuff it metzeler (same company anyway:))

I've raced all year with Pirelli wets, as mentioned before stay together very well during drying conditions. Only 3 seconds slower in the wet round Snetterton. The front is superb even used wet front with supercorsa rear.

Remember the tyre pressure is imperative. Slight more than dry, I use around 31.5 psi on rear (depends how cold) compared to 27.5 psi in the dry.

As I said mate, you want em you get em..........not even watching em now :)

[goshow]

I don't think there will be many folks on here who will be able to tell you difference between one set of wets and another, simply because you need a huge set of bollocks to get to the limits on them.

My personal choice is Pirelli, but they're all very very similar in charactoristics and grip level.

[madmatt1969]

got them there on the way :thumbsup:
