OK here is the deal, since you are all so helpful
I want two tyre recommendations, one for Road, and one for Track. I assume (since I am still new to 7’s) that the best would be
A021 Road
ACB10 Track – (or slicks, but cant drive with them on to the track)
But because the car will need different setups for each tyre this is impractical. So compromise time. I was thinking A021 road and A032 track, keeping the setup the same.
I love track days, but don’t get the time the do them that often. This is the reason I sold an Exige, the car was fantastic on tack, but I only found time to do 2 track days in 18 months of ownership. So the main focus is Road use.
I like the idea of the A048 and only one set of wheels, but until a large number of BlatChaters recommend them for the road (and wet, it is England after all) I can only go with Exige/Lotus drivers comments that they appear to be faster wearing A039’s, with similar characteristics. So I think they are out at the moment, however I await Peters comments.
So I suppose my options are
1, Stick with the ACB10’s, and drive very slowly if I am caught out in the rain. – Cost £0
2, Change to A021 and sell the ACB’s – aprox cost £ 275 – ACB (£125 ish) + Flat Floor (£175 ish) total £325 ish + another set of Wheels and tyres later.
3, Change to A048, still £350 ish, and take a chance. (but still better on wet that ACB10)
4, CR500 , need to know cost, lifespan and Road charateristics
Please add your 2p’s worth, so I can make a decision
Thanks
Chris.
