Advance 048’s

Been assured these tyres are very good track tyres, has anyone used them and if so can you provide some feedback please.

Also where’s the best place to purchase them. In terms of pricing?

Never used them, but they are very good.

Been superseded by the A050 i think, but you can still get them.

They're not cheap though.

Very good tyres.

I use them and yes they are very good, in cold conditions they take a lap or two to warm up properly (as any track tyre does) but otherwise they're spot on. I keep pressures to around 28/29 psi hot, anymore than that and I find they over inflate and cause uneven wear on fronts

As for prices you'll be looking at £450-500 for a set of 4 in 15's, 2nd hand tyres can normally be picked up for circa £100 a pair

Thanks for the feedback, any recommendations as to where to purchase so E or is it a case of scoring the internet?

No problems, if you're after the cheapest then yes it will be a case of constantly checking online. Occasionally there'll be some cheap on eBay, otherwise you're looking at Demon Tweeks/JJC, Mr tyre motorsport, JD motorsport, camskill etc etc. As for 'E' marked (I'm assuming that's what you're were referencing above?) my last 2 sets have been stamped with Motorsport Use Only, so you may struggle to find new tyres that are technically road legal

Nice one, that is very helpful. I will be using them for track days only. Got some Federal 595's to get me going tomorrow at Oulton Park.
Actually the E was a mistake, I was typing without my glasses! One day it will get me into some hot water!! ?
