groutledge Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 I am currently running 185/60/30 32Rs in soft compound ( I have also used supersoft in the past as well ). My car is a 95 live axle with widetrack, Nitron dampers, LSD, rose joined A frame and crappy Ital axle. The engine is a 155bhp Roger King cross flow. I would like to try ACB10s for track use but am a little worried about my axle self distructing. I've had a few probelms with the wheel bearings ( suprise suprise ), in that the press fit had failed causing wheel drift. This happened a few times so Chris Wheeler at the 7 Workshop fitted brand new shafts, bearings and also made up 0special shims to support the bearings and since then I haven't had a peep from it. I guess what I want to know is do the hard A33 compound ACB10's in 6/21-13 size have comparable grip to Soft 32Rs. I'm not after any more grip than i have now as the car is beautifuly balanced and more grip with spoil it, ( which is why i don't use the supersofts). I only want the controllability that a X-ply will give. Anybody have any thoughts?. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Turner Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Cannot help you with you query abot the tyres but when I ran very soft Hoosier cross ply tyres on my approx 150 hp x-flow Ital axle car the only problem I had was the oil surge created by the higher cornering forces, this resulted in several siezed pinion bearings, most exciting when exiting a corner. Get the casing properly baffled if its not been done. I had no problems with the wheel bearings or half shafts. The tyres were 185/60 13 equivalents.
