personnal preferance really, there's no real definative answer

but i prefer them on 15's, they go sideways better

If i go for 15s on the road what are good road tyres that will work as good or better than the pe2s. i find there a brilliant allround tyre?!

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

yes it does! mk1 172

Totally agree with you Fred.

My MK1 172 handles just like my old Williams's did.

They make my Trophy seem dimwitted in comparison.

we use Toyo T1R in 205-50 15's (virtually the same size as 15inch slicks)

OK Fred (and everyone else), question for you along this theme. I've got a set of 16" turinis with 195/45/16 Toyo T1Rs on them and a set of old turbines with 195/50/15 Yoko Paradas on them.

I bought the turbines as track wheels, but now I've got them I realise they're heavier than the turinis and the brakes will probably cook more due to lack of ventilation. Also the paradas have a higher sidewall & feel a bit wobblier in the bends even if they are grippier.

The question is - I'm off to Donington on Tuesday and can fit either set of wheels. Which would you go with?

 

[Fred@BTM]

16's you have

the t1rs will have no sides on them after a few laps on the track!
