I will be changing thembecause they screw out disc's very quickly. I'll be running a street/track compound from herrod soon. Not sure what theyare I just spoke to Rob yesterday quickly about the tune they are setting up for my car.Benny,I have gone with the standard tyres dunlop sports max, they handle the track better than what I thought howeverthe track temp up here makes them go off quickly. I find them to be a great street tyre and a ok track tyre.I'll be changing up to either fedreals or brigies. But I'm all thinking about putting a 9.5 on the rear end to get moregrip.I'm running about 1.5sec per lap behind a xr8 with about 20rwkw more and a stripped cabin, and he has semi-slicks.The only problem I have is with engine temp :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also give "Redline Water Wetter" a crack, its an additive that goes in your coolant and reduces temps... havent tried this myself but its always got great reviews in tests.Also if you race track quite often look into getting a Engine oil cooler fitted, id be using nothng but braided lines either... wouldnt risk running pure rubber hoses.
