T1-Rs at 4mil G, but having different boots front-back didn't really help me on track. the Bridgestones (as you may have seen from my other thread) are at 3 mil all 4 corners, so at least with all 4 wheels the same I'll get consistency on track. to put brand new T1Rs on the front, with 4mils on the back woiuldn't have solved the problem either :?

Only issue is, if I get them to KH, ... where/when am I gonna get 'em fitted :lol: sheesh - who'd book on for a trackday.. :wink:

I know what you mean Greg but back in the day I ran different tyres on the front than rear. IN actual fact it was TT05.

But hey, if it's gonna be hot and you're fitting T1-Rs they will melt anyway... :P

Neil - I'll be impressed if even you manage to keep up with a well-driven GT2. That's the 450bhp twin-turbo one, yeah? Not the N/A GT3's you've been hounding across europe ;)

Still, more chance at KH than the likes of Spa.

DOH. the probblem is most of them arent well driven.

I.E i reckon i'd be quicker in a 911 GT3 RS than i am in the lotus, but most people who have 911's cant drive. just my opinion. and obviously i dont include shoomer in that statement :lol:

Mac DDTB Zippy Lazydonkey,
What time are you guys leaving tomorrow 10ish?
Shall we convoy? meet at mine / Mac's then pick up Iain at Cumbernauld @ 10.15-30?
Best if DDTB goes at the back in case any bits fall off! :wink:
