no wonder they take a while to warm up!
im not after slicks, want to get into doing a many track days as poss but still have alot to buy to make my car "useable" so looking at one set of track wheels/tyres for now, just to get me going basically, need to be good in dry,useable in wet, that'll rule slicks out lol
may just get a set of T1r's now to get me going,
fair in grip, fairer in price!, was just looking at pirelli as i should be able to get a good price on them, but seems trying to find a decent tyre they do in 15's is harder then i thought!

T1r's are complete shite on track in comparison to track orientates tyres. T1r is a road tyre and does road work well.

Trye will make a trqck day a good day poor tyres you will be dissappointed, I was I use t1r and they are rubbish.
Don't forget track days are totally different to b road blasting.
A good set of tryes will make the day a lot better, worth saving to get some.

The only thing that hasnt been eliminated is the new diff that was fitted over the winter....it will be changed out hopefully over the next few weeks to see if that is the culprit."
Fee uses (list 1b) Toyo R888's in practice on Sat and the (list 1a) comedy Pirelli's on race day, Adam admits the difference in grip between the 2 tyres is something that Fee needs to get her head around come race day.
