Z3MCJez Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Don't mix the two different types of tyre, even front to back. Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z3MCJez Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 The two types of tyre are completely different - it would be like running two completely different tyres. On track the new tyres are about 2% slower and deteriorate much quicker - particularly if run hard from new. To be fair, on a road car, it's probably not noticeable.

CB Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 and to keep things really interesting - they're changing the compound again for 2014 as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
