Tyre Advice (For Nurburgring)

Hi all,

Me again, you must be sick of these questions by now... honestly I do use the search but could only find into out on superceeded tyre versions.

Currently my car has Michlin Pilot Sports (dunno how to tell if there PS1 or PS2!?!) on the front and Continental Conti Sport Contact 3's on the rear. The question is will these be ok for use on the 'Ring or are they going to be totally useless??

I presume the PS's will be ok on the front, but I've never used Conti's and my last car used to run Toyo R888's or Yoko AO48's. I was debating getting a set of Cup's but think it's going to be overkill for my first 'Ring trip in the BM.

However, it's not my first trip there its my 5th and lap times in the Exige were at best mid 8:xx's and on average traffic dependant sub 9:xx's so would like to think it was been driven at a good pace.

Fortunatly it's the first trip in the CSL and i've only had it a day so I'm still going to be learning the car so I will have my sensible head on, I just want to make sure than the Conti's aren't going to melt on me.

Speaking of over heating, what pressures do people run, more so what pressures do people run at the 'Ring??

Ta very much!
