I heard Avons were 1.5 sec a lap better than Toyo 888,s. Not known what track
though.

Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: what rubber for xtreme
thanks for the replies chaps - interesting to read about your experiences...
anyone know how many xtreme owners their are? (and how many are on here!)
I know they are more pricey, but I am tempted by the AVON C500 - the caterham
designed job.. the only thing is that the profile is 195/45 rather than /50 -
which will mean more revs to do the same speed - not sure if i want that in the
v8 !
cheers, Chris

I have done a lot of tyre investigation both on track and road and have
formed the following conclusions. Note that I am stingy and don't believe in
paying a lot for track tyres, when you have justy as much fun on road tyres ans
they last a lot longer.
For road use, the best tyre I have found is the Toyo Proxes T1R, which is a
decent price and works well in the wet too. The downside of these is that on
track days the narrow tread block results in overheating and rapid wear and I
quickly shred them. I therefore use the Yokohama parada spec 2 per Steve
above, I find they are slightly less grippy than the Toyo, when cold and on the
road, but on the track are far more consistent, grip very well, and due to the
wider tread block design last a lot longer, the down side I have found is the
wet grip isn't brilliant, but as my car is primarily a fine weather car that
doesn't bother me.
I agree with Ian's comments about the track tyres, being the best, the R1R
is probably grippier, but they are softer and so life is less in theory, but I
have never run to the expense so don't have the experience.
Hope this is useful
Nigel
PS Can anyone explain why when I post from the phone it seems to work, but
the post doesnt appear?
