tyres and wheels
hi,
i am just seeking a bit of advice on which tyres i should use for the road. I will rarely go on a track, lucky to be once a year, and i dont drive
insanly quick around the streets, so i dont need yoko a048s or toyo r888's. I still want a grippy tyre as i do drive fast. Can someone advise
me, i looked at the yokohama parada as i can get a set of four for £136, anyone any views on the grip of this tyre?
Also i am after a new set of 15" wheels, lightweight. Can anyone suggest a set other than team dynamics or rota? Wolfrace do a set called the
prolites which weight 5.9kg each and cost £219 for the set, has anybody any views on these?
Thanks

i have oz ultra superlaggeras on at the minute which are 16". Ime selling these though as i want some 15's, only reason due to there is
more of a tyre range in that size. So if you no anyone that wants to buy them let me no...

on the basis that 888s are 250 ish a set and last about 7-8k miles if you swap them id be going for those. Thats 18months to two years mileage and
anything else will need replacing due to age anyway IMO
