no I found a set of super corsa's for 200 notes that only a tenner more than buying 10 sets  [wall] (per set)

so I didn;t bother with the group buy ... was pointless.....

but I got a set of xtremes for 170 now too ... so that should last me at least 4 to 6 track days ......  B-)

I know... but they were cheap and I kinda put in a best offer not expecting to win them ... but hey ho  :dontknow:  I will have to use them on tracks not hard on tyres....

so thats ermmmm Silverstone  :dontknow:

Snetterton kills tyres
pembrey kills tyres
oulton .... wasn't fast enough to know but will find out on 25th...

got Rockingham but reckon that will kill the tyres being that it doesn't really flow  :emb:

I was thinking of trying those avons, I was speaking to a tyre guy at brands and he recommeded them saying they were as good as the racetecs but cheaper!

Overall the grip level is very good, but they don't tend to last to long............

think GRNinja and Jon177 were screwing their tyres within about 500 miles on the road, so on track I would think even less.
