Technical Tyres

[Pilp]

Hi folks, i need tyres! Not a bog standard 20 quid job though, fast road/competition tyre.
185/55/13 front, 205/55/13 rear. The Toyo proxess R888 is an option but is there anything else?
Ideally looking for something that can handle damp weather and not be lethal.
Any advice?
Phil

A 205/55/13 might be a tall order - I think you can get a 205/60/13 though, just not sure it will fit.... 195/50/13 is a real size as well and would probably fit better and keep your speedo something approximating to accurate.

Hi Jimbro, they will fit, Leda fully adjustable suspension and a Faran body means loads of space! Its currently running 205/60/13 rears and 185/60/13 fronts, was my mistake putting the 55. Ive even had 175/80/13 gravel tyres on it from its rally days

i have had good experiences with Marangoni Zeta Linea tyres on a 280hp MR2. Not quite in the same league as the 888's though but very good grip in the dry and pretty good in the wet too.

What about Yokohama A048s but not sure what sizes they come in.

Hi,yes the Yokohama AO48R is an option, they are available in the right size but some of the reviews are not to favourable, so they are down the list some way
