Leadership Team RogNeedham Posted January 26, 2005 Leadership Team Share Posted January 26, 2005 no experience of 48s but after much deliberation about 2 years ago I opted for CR500s (i have 15 in prisoner wheels) and no complaints - performance in wet excellent - in dry can't complain Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr G Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 Toyo Proxes T1's. It's the first time that I've heard that tyre mentioned (head in sand!!). Are they any good? Has anyone else used them? Edited by - Mr G on 26 Jan 2005 23:47:10 Edited by - Mr G on 27 Jan 2005 10:41:52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted January 27, 2005 Leadership Team Share Posted January 27, 2005 Why would you have more pressure in the fronts ? Required pressure is a combination of mass exerted / tyre size. If you run bigger tyres on the rear then you can have a situation where they may need a lower pressure due to the volume of air they contain. A good analogy is a bicycle tyre - a narrow racing bike tyre will need 100+ psi, whereas a wide mountain bike tyre will only need around 65 for the same compression on the road. take a look at the rating of a HGV tyre next time your stopped at eye level Stu.

Graham Perry Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 But HGV's are between 95 and 120 psi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted January 27, 2005 Support Team Share Posted January 27, 2005 Norman - I am led to believe that CR500's are much lighter than any of the Yokohama tyres. While they might not be quite as light as ACB10's they could be close enough for you not to lose too much in the weight stakes. I think that given your statement above about the conditions you typically drive in, you might enjoy things more with CR500's.

Normans_Ghost Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Shaun, I'm convinced, it's CR500's next. Now how quick can I wear these ACB's out? Norman Verona, 1989 BDR 220bhp, Mem No 2166, the full story here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulyb Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I've always preferred CR500s for road use, with either ACB10s or slicks for the track. Not sure of the exact figures, but there is very little weight difference between my MB rims with ACB10s or CR500s And I'm sure a man of your talents could wear out the rear ACB10s in no time 😬 Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
