For our cars, the only choice is really soft or supersoft. I think I read on here that the super softs are amazing, but wear quickly. The softs take a
bit more warming up to work 100% but should last a bit longer.

dont touch the soft (SG) compound! These were tested during a round of the Tiger Racing Series this year and after 15 minutes they were so hot they
couldnt be touched and the heat had transferred to the hub which i think needed regreasing after. The soft compound is really only suitable for
sprints and hill climbs the standard compound is plenty sticky enough for both race and road use, HTH

Was that the soft (SG) of the super-soft?
It is a race series - which is quite a different story to road/track day use... I read on here that the medium (GG) is too difficult to get upto
temperature... Any one have experience of this?

Thinking of buying a set a winter tyres after a whoopy on my a032's which proved not to work on cold wet roads.

I've got gg fitted, not turned a wheel yet though.
You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one
portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.
