Built my mg with 250bhp what 15" tyres would be recomended for hill climbs & sprints, i had r888 in mind but they seem to of shot up in price. Jon

Hi

An S2000 midget will be in Sport Libre I reckon, so slicks.

If you're planning on driving it there then R888, GGG compound (you could kill the really soft SG's on the way..)

You have U2U

are slick's much better than 888 or any cheeper & where would be the best buy. gratefull for any advice. jon

Hi

Tyre performance is a huge variable to try and put an estimate on but the general consensus seems to be; - If a normal road tyre (MSA 1a list) was doing a 60 second run, a good track day / MSA list 1B tyre (such as a R888) would be a few seconds quicker, going to sprint / hillclimb slicks is going to be a similar step.

IF the car's setup is altered to suit of course.

For slicks the use of Avon's is pretty much the defacto standard - BMTR is one source, probably be worth asking for their advice on compunds and available sizes - but they're expensive..

You have another U2U.

Thanks jim. jon
