Still trying to sort the time off but I am still planning to be there.

Booked the hotel just in case.

Looking forward to it. Let's hope the snow stays away.

(that's why I think Mike will do fine, that and his lack of imagination). :roll: :lol:

I have wets on at the moment but a critic, let's call him Woody because that's his name, has suggested that my winter wheels are the wrong shape or something and I'll upset the handling.

At the speeds I drive it's not really an issue but they are very narrow...

Hmm, I have some random old P-Zero Nero or similar budget tyre fitted. I now cannot remember if that was fitted last time I was at Spa (catastrophic lack of grip under braking; OK in the corners?!?) or whether those were some other budget tyre. Also those tyres have been on the car the whole time it's been dormant.

So either leave them on and add that to the pile of excuses as to why I am still slow, despite the talent masker in the back OR I get some new tyres. Decisions decisions.

Cheers,
Robin

Assuming I did get AD08R, where's cheapest these days? Happy to do a trawl if nobody knows/cares ..

ZZR's are indeed awesome. Still plenty tread on mine after frolics.
However spa in March may prefer ad08's.
Robin I always get them from tyreleader or pneus as they seem to be cheapest. Getting the fronts in the correct size isn't always easy though.
