Im racing at knockhill and i will have to carry several componds of slicks to get the best set up for the day. The weather conditions at knockhill are a hit or a miss so going with something like the direzzas is best of both worlds.

The toyo r888 are no good i have been told for what im doing. The R888s have only a 3-4 lap operating window before they get too hot and make the car "loose". I have decided and im going for the Kumho V70A. I hav only heard good things about these tyres and going to give them a bash. If they dont do the job then getting the DZ03. The Dunlop's are £200 a tyre but u pay for what u get lol
