yankeedoodoo Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Most of the tire discussion on this thread centers on the merits of various Avons and Yokos. Avons are almost unobtainable here, and our selection of Yokos does not approach yours. However, there are some alternatives: Hoosier racing and soft street tires, Kumho and Falken tires. Are these available in the UK and, if so, does anyone use them to good effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V7 SLR Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Hoosiers are supposed to be good. Lightweight too. Worcs L7 club joint AO.//Membership No. 4379//Azure Blue SLR No. 0077//Se7ens List Tours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph7355 Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Can you get Toyos? I've heard good things about these? Alternatively, have a couple of sets of Yokos shipped over from here. They're only about 78USD ea. and you might be able to claim VAT back making them 66USD a pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 I Used Hoosier Autocrossers for sprinting till last year. They were excellent. I only changed (to ACB10)out of interest rather than to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonP Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Falkens are used in some one make race series...a kind of poor mans Yoko. Believe they are made by div. of Bridgestone? I've also used them on various road cars, good in the dry, not so good in the wet, cheap to buy but wear out quick! Eliseless and Se7ening again!
