Ordered 23rd March. Hopefully to arrive before the weekend!

tyre leaders as recommended. couldn't find cheaper (in my quick and impatient search). Anything will be better than what's on it at the moment, but hoping for something awesome with a clio cup in the summer with soft tyres on.

Steven103 I apologise for making a decision mid reply! Great response though. Like you say the time of year is a big factor. I have the cup from now till July, so I can enjoy it when the weather is good and take it easy if it's pouring. I did what you said with my old beemer on NS2Rs, managing...

Yes I haven't got any cash to throw at it, just want one decent set of tyres to do 2-3k miles including a track day or two until summer. I can't find 195 width in the nankang NS2Rs, so just went ahead and bought the 205s. Have a track day coming up at Bedford on Saturday 4th April so let's...

Sounds like a good idea. might even go for the 120 soft compound. I'm guessing they will perform no worse in the wet than the 180 compound.

Can't argue with £240. With low mileage I do I don't really see wear as a problem. More the concern if the michelins or other similar road tyres have softer sidewalls then waste a set of tyres after a track day. I guess it's the trade off - soft tyre walls and potentially kill good michelins...

limited mileage really, only 2-3k tops before I have to sell up in summer. Interesting I was actually rather impressed with Nankang NS2Rs I had on the old beemer. Stood up bloody well to track day abuse. I had the hard compound 180 you recommended. But I had a second set of tyres with...

Hi all, thought I'd make my first post. I'm about to replace the ditchfinders on my 172 cup (standard). Mixed brand and tread depth on the rear! Absolutely no confidence in the wet. It's mainly for road use. I don't commute, I bought the car for the B roads, bored of a heavy BMW 330. I want to...
