Hmm. Right. Got a proper tyre pressure gauge yesterday. Used to have one that cost as much as a set of tyres, but just fumbled along with a supermarket one past couple of weeks. Turns out that what I thought were 33/30 tyre pressures according to supermarket gauge night before a track day were...

Not yet fitted, but I'd imagine different league. Have run them on other cars, but years ago. Found a friendly race shop who gets lightly-used cast-offs. 200 squids a set.

After all that, A048s on 16s.

6J width....?

So, I'm beginning to warm to the idea of 15s. Will all Clio 15 inch wheels work with/fit 195 50 15 A048s...?

Anglesey.

Shakedown went well. Road tyres were fun, challenging and frustrating in equal measure. Car was brilliant. What I lack in talent it made up for in a brilliant chassis. Had no idea these things were so much fun. I expected lift-off oversteer to result in reversing into the scenery, but it's...

I'm reaching for the wallet....... no, no, no ... Part of the challenge is seeing just what can be done with as little spend as possible. I think what'll actually happen is that we'll all come away from the first brake-pads-only track day and probably all agree it'll be more fun with some minor...

If I was going to modify it - which may yet happen if my Ferrari-owning mate has a veto on all four cars (that sound familiar...?) - then I've learnt a lot on here about what I'd do.

This is the whole point: the idea is to go about this by spending the minimum possible. It's not about the mods, it's about running with what we've got. I've got Neros. Four pints before we settled on this idea we were arguing about runaway costs in F1.

15k laps, not hours.... It was a simple question: are Neros any good on track in comparison to any of the other mainstream brands? Even though there's probably not much between the brands, some are still harder or softer than others, or have different characteristics, just like race tyres. I've...

10k laps is nothing when it comes to thirty-five years on and off of ten events a year. It's actually probably closer to 15k. But I've never driven a Clio on road tyres on a track. I'm old enough to know what I don't know, and the simple question at the start of this was whether Pirelli Neros...

Tyres.

If I was to put 15 inchers on, what would work?

No handbook in the car or sticker on the door: what are the standard cold tyre pressures for these little hooligans?

Imprezaworks: you're right, 15s or a dedicated spare set could be an option, but it's a little challenge I've set myself: simplification. It sounds like you might know how expansive and expensive things can get on race or track day cars in pursuit of removing even the tiniest of performance or...

Anybody have any experience of Neros specifically on track? Last time I drove a road car on Pirellis on a circuit they were so hard I thought they'd been over-inflated.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I've done about 10,000 laps of UK race circuits and instructed on track days but not for five years or so. I'm scratching an itch getting back on track, but not getting carried away. This is going to be a brakes-and-tyres-only track day car. So, sorry, should...

What does anybody think of Pirelli Neros for track day use? Standard 182 other than front brakes on 205 45 16s. Maybe something else on the front and leave the Neros on the back?
