Stephen Long Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Good morning all, I am about to change from 14 inch rims to 13 inch in preparation for entering the sprint series in class one. Can you please advise me on the tyre size I need, I believe the preferred tyre in this class is yokahama a539 is this correct? Thank you Longy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Richard Price Posted December 4, 2021 Area Representative Share Posted December 4, 2021 Longy,Most folks are using 185/60-13 A539's.They're classed as a standard road tyre, so available in just a single compound.However, do you really need to buy a second set of wheels and tyres?What tyres do you currently have on your 14" wheels?There is far more to be gained from learning how to approach competition, learning the courses, and learning to drive the car on these courses, than there is between different tyres. (when running standard road tyres, I've run on 14, 13, and 15" tyres respectively, and would say that, in reality, there was very little difference between any. However, during that time, my own ability changed dramatically!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Long Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 Thank you Richard, I have 14 inch rims fitted with uniroyal rain expert 3, which are an excellent road tyre but I don't offer much grip in the dry. I have rims about to go to paint Longy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
