Thanks Cameleon. I will be looking at tyres soon(ish). I do a fair few km in my cars so good wear is also a consideration. Ideally I'd like to get 35-40,000km out of a set. I know that's not always possible, however I'd be prepared to sacrifice a little in terms of performance if I can get another 10,000km out of a set the tyres. Ideal world I'd have a long life performance tyre which is good in wet and dry but that combination is often hard to achieve.
I know previous usig Conti , from ContiSport5 was wearing very fast almost finish at 20k! but this one at least on 4wd tig I had 25k and still at least left 15k for front and maybe 20k for rear left to use .But I don't put this car hard and I am not racig, but I never notice wheel spin with this tyre regardless how wet is or fast cornering or road condition. However this is not tyres for everyone if you don't like soft fill tyre. It is so light and so soft easy to move around with one finger on steering . When first time you come to this tyre you will be thinking like is balloon not tyre And need some get used , as is very very light and sensitive tyre on steering input. Again because is just incredible light ( 21kg only on 18 inch sportline Audi wheel in 235/55R18 for compare on some wheel Bridgestone H/P sport tyre with even lower profile /235/50/R18 was 24.3kg so saved almost 3.5kg per wheel!
In beginning I didn't like at all this tyre was bit scare at high speed , till I didt find correct pressure for this tyre , but after get some used on lightness and adapted on precise sensitive control steering input is just amazing ultra light grip tyre ,very comfortable and noise is also minimal.
OK got a call from the tuner today and he has a new file to go on before the HPFP gets installed. This is a 26psi file but with reduced fuelling to work with the stock fuel pump.
So I'm heading into the workshop tomorrow morning to get the file loaded and some initial logs done. Things seem to be moving along now that everyone is over Easter/Anzac holidays.
