Thank you MR Glen Seton & MR John English, NOT!!
As one really must buy new tyres particularly when the fact is mentioned that new ones are paramount by 2 Racing Drivers at 2 different times!
It’s a tuff call as to who’s advice to take when buying new slicks, & when this advice has been personally given, & even worse, when you will see them both again
One recommended,
Hoosiers “Tyres designed for champions”
& the other Pirelli Tyres “Mates rates”
Worn tyres or the wrong choice of tyre, means the difference between losing & winning
Or the staying on the track or the running out of control & off it,
ahh that would be into the mud! but that is another story!!
so this thought process is no mean feat
In dry weather, 'slicks' are used
Slick tyres have no tread, thus giving the tyres maximum surface area in contact with the road to grip most effectively on a dry road surface, so the man says
So you can imagine my deleimer when the courier arrived with the tyres & they had grooves!!!! in my mind grooves mean tread!!
In my defence the Dunlop’s we were running were a non grooved slick
My man just grins that indulgent grin, at me, which seems to appear when I have a blond moment
Lots of humming & haring & tooing & froing & the new bags are....
Hoosiers, size 275 45 16. A6
Got to be good as also run by the Pinepac 1 car & by the Biante drivers
Cost $1860
We have yet to see how well these babies’s perform
