zetec Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Are these ok after 4 yrs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 I guess what you define as "OK" I guess. I use very old (10+ years) A032Rs for track and they are fine for me. Of course, they won't grip as well as a set of new A048Rs for £70 a corner. If I didn't have an abundance of tyres, I'd have them off Nick.

zetec Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Would they be ok for motorway driving to trackday? If they are then- Yes pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 With 3mm of tread left they should be fine I would think. I bet there's plenty of cars running around on public roads with tyres that are easily 5+ years old. Give Nick a phone call and have a chat about it. If you are quick, I may be able to bring them down to Kent on Saturday for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mankee Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Good stuff! I'm meeting up with one of his colleagues Simon tomorrow. If Nick can give them to Simon, Simon can give them to me and I can bring them down on Saturday. I'm only going as far as Ikea at Lakeside though, if you can make it? Drop me an email and I'll pass on my number to make some arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
