Seems the Porsche Cup racers have been busy this year and there is a glut of used Michelin 25/64-18 and 27/65-18 competition slick tyres available.
Just by chance these tyres are a perfect fit for a 3200/4200 18 in wheels (both front and rear). I used a set of them at a track day this year and the difference between them and a road tyre is night and day (not recommended for a wet track though!!).
Thankfully I have a spare set of 18 in wheels to fit them on as have aftermarket 19in wheels for road use. As you can't legally drive to the track on them you will need a mate to transport the race tyres to the track as they won't fit in a 4200.
The tyres can be purchased for £30 each from SW Adair Tyres, 49 Killymore Road, Omagh, Co. Tyrone N.Irealnd Tel : 02881648428 (Ask for Bill Adair). They retail tyres to many of the Rally guys throughout the UK & Ireland and I got to know Bill as he provides a very good tyre service at the track days here in Norin Iron. (photo of tyres attached)
Although used there is still plenty of life in the tyres and they are ideal for doing the odd track day thus avoiding the hassle of destroying your road tyres. A set of these racing slicks new retails for around £1300 so at £120 for a full set has to be a bargain!!
Bill advised me he can ship the tyres and is happy to quote competitively. I live about 70 miles from his premises and he only charged me £10 per tyre to deliver so not worth me taking the time to collect.
Rubber up Gents and play safe!!
