15" tyres for track
steveiow - 19/10/12 at 02:22 PM

Looking for some tyres for my MR2 Turbo as taking it on track soon as getting wet in the Locost on cold rainy winter trackdays can become annoying when you have no roof or screen.

Wondering if any of the RGB boys have any part worn/end of season tyres. I know some of them frequent here on occasion. Looking for anything between 195 and 225 in a 15 inch. Happy to arrange a courier to collect from you as I am on the Isle of Wight.

Cash waiting, obviously.

Thanks!

Dont want to teach you to suck eggs but in my experience MR2s are very fussy on their tyres, the mk2 in particular. I found mine much easier to drive on the limit with communicative tyres whereas things like floppy T1Rs were horrendous, not so much the lack of grip but more how the tyre behaved when pushed.

I've got 4 195/50 15V T1Rs still in my loft. 3mm of tread but one pair with worn shoulders. About a year old, came off my mr2 a few weeks back. £40.
