Tyre Choice for Ardent & Tamworth

Hi Guys,

I've had a great summer away from racing but im very much looking forward to getting back into it.

Ive read through the guides on tyres and know the pink mediums are the way for the rear but didn't want to spend a fortune on getting a massive range for the front and wondered what has been working at Ardent & Tamworth?

Alex

Im runing 46's up front at ardent Alex but dont worry i have hundreds for you to try mate. yesterday i moved up to 50,s and the car was spot on Go to kamtec for your wheels mate he trues and glues as well or pick them up from ardent and im sure gaza will help you with his tyre truer glad to see you back mate!!!!!!!!!
you poping over sunday mate

Hi Alex

Again its so hard ( LOL ) to say what works for one person wont work for another but as ardent has GOOD GRIP its 42 or 44 front FOR ME

Paul likes 50 on the front . . . . see what I mean

So Alex you will need a few fronts untill you find Your Style

OR

So go for 42 & 46

That way if 42's are to gripy put on the 46's if the 46's give you under steer then apply some additive on the inside edge about 5mm in then you will know what you want

Cheers for the info guys, much appreciated.

Will be over sunday if work give me the keys to something special... ;-)

i like 46s on mine as it gives my setup some good understeer however on tuesday i was getting grip roll at certain points on track so may need to put on some 48s

How do..... I'm running pink 54s on front and it works great for me. I'm on stiff on the rear and med springs on front. Testing some more tyres on Friday as I do have a little understeer at times but a think it's my driving style to blame

There you go

so the answewr to. . . . Do I need that many fronts is . . . . yes

Also Tamworth track is alot more slippy than ardent. Loads of over steer for me so I put some additive on the front as I didn't have any softer tyres trued up. Only some jap mediums but they were worse.

Err Wayne . . . . that's totally opposite to what you should do

If over steer then NO additive is needed that would make it worse

and you need a harder tyre not soft . . . . . . gonna call you Rodney now you plonker
