Hi there...I'm a newbie to motor racing and so far I've been to the VW progressive course at Phillip island and I've also been on MSAV event at Sandown. After my Sandown stint...my front tyres (continentals) are worn out and need replacing. My car has done 16000 Kms....so I reckon that the track day didn't help much. On the track, I did 3 sessions and each session was about 15-20 mins I think.
I'm keen to go to the sandown event on 30th November but this time am reluctant to use the contis....don't want to have to change them again.
I thought that since I'll be doing track 2-3 times a year, I should get a set of race tires on a set of second hand wheels for those. I've looked around and Hankooks Ventus TD Z221 seem to be popular but a little bit pricey. I would lean towards the medium compound...purely because I'm still new to this and I think I'll cook the soft very quickly....also sandown in November will be quite hot for soft tires.
