Irrelevant Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 For the few who don't know Avon's compounds off by heart. Getting there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Do you guys ever stop 😬 Maybe it's just me but I do appreciate the time people like Graham put into organising what is a great championship I don't have the inclination to commit my time to changing the rules so am happy to go along with whatever is put together. There are plenty of options as it stands and 1A tyres gives evrbody a low cost solution. Why try and get (someone else) to fix what isn't broken MikeW Mega Grad Race No 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Wong1697456877 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Will they E-mark anything softer than A24's? When I got my first set of A24's, I was told they were a "special compound" that wasn't normally e-marked, but they were normal A24's. I'm really not sure there is much to be gained by going much softer than A24 with ACB10's. They overheat too easily for really hard sprint driving. A24's can last quite a while on a fast trackday but on a slow sprint circuit like curborough, and given that I drive my car alot harder at Curborough than any trackday, thay stuggle to not overheat after about 3-4 laps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Ranson Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 For reference the standard slick compounds for hillclimb/sprint usage would be A15 or A39 on the rear and A40 on the front. In our usage rears are shagged after 30-35 runs, fronts go quite a lot longer before becoming uncomfortable. Front engined usage would probably imply A39 on the front? I remember having great fun with a set of 7x21 crossply slicks in A39 on a standard 1.6k Superlight. Lasted well and fitted on standard 6 inch wheels. I guess it's more complicated now.
