Tyres road/Track



  Clio 172 PH2
I'm due to collect my ph2 172 at the weekend its just going to be used as amatuer track car and on the road occasionally.

What tyres do people recommend on a budget without them lasting 5 mins?

Me and my cousin are amateur at best and wont be spend all day however i don't want anything that will be terrible on the road or cost a fortune, i have 16 oz superturismo's.

Thanks
 
Just get yourself a cheap arse set of 15" wheels and some part worn proper track tyres from Ebay and then just average tyres for the 16" which are good in the wet, so they can be used on wet track days.

This would be cheaper than paying £400-500 for decent track/road tyres on the 16"s.

On my civic the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A have lasted bloody ages (2 x track days and 2 x Nurburgring trips (approx. 8 laps) as well as a trips to Wales and Fort William from Manchester.

Still on 5mm - obviously not as sticky or firm as track tyres but excellent tyres.

Yeah in wet they're only ok, not a patch on the rainsports in the wet but firmer enough for track and pretty good in dry and Wear brilliantly.
