Road legal track day tyres could be outlawed - Page 2

I'm not sure the additional info on the tyre will help the general public

1. They have no clue what any of it means anyway
2. They are unlikely to be buying these tyres for their cars anyway

As for the rest of us, we know the limitations and they come with warnings as to the effect of cold/wet/aquaplaning.

Good job the CSL has so much room in it, not sure what the Pork boys will have to do? Trailer/support vehicle

Definately agree with this statement.

I now lie them flat so that they don't roll into the back of my seat under braking! There is a knack to getting them in flat, however! I stack 3 on top of each other then fit the last one in before moving the top one onto that!

It will be interesting to see how this pans out, especially around MOT time. The Cup was designed for the car. I can't seem them outlawing the OEM tyre......
