Track tyres

[Aparoon]

Im doing a track day at Oulton on 16th, Ive got some Yoko A048 tyres to go on but im unsure whether to bother fitting them with the weather ... Anyone any experience of them? Dont want to ruin the day if its not warm /dry enough...

Thanks,Chris

So long as it isn't pissing down, they'll be great. Lower temps = more warm up laps.

That's good to hear, I wasn't sure whether they'd be poor in this chilly weather. I was going to see how it is Monday then stick them on if its ok :-)

I used these tyres on a track day last week. You could tell they didnt have the usual amount of grip and the tyre pressures never raised as high as usual because of the temps but they were still ok. They will be ok on a wet track day as long as they are fairly new with some decent tread depth if not, good luck.

I have them for my car and they are excellent when up to temp! I will be there trying to get my full slicks up to temp though, so i wouldnt be concerned about it. Besides by the wkend and next week they reckon weather will be hitting 20. We will see!

Hmm they have just over half tread haha. So will have to wait and see with the rain.. Its a shame its not this week the weathers perfect !  :driver

As long as I can pry my half of the sticker out of the 'part worn yoko death wreck' it'll be fine 

[Aparoon]

Ha ! Which tyres are you using Ste ?

[Beddie]

Still got the winters on at the moment 

I'm going to put the normal wheels and the GY F1s back on this weekend and make a last minute decision depending on how the weather looks as to if I put the track wheels and tyres on, the federals are getting pretty low and don't seem to like the rain. Oulton. A wet Druids. Me filling my draws etc..

Ok. Ill speak to you Monday then and see what's what... I haven't got spare wheels yet so need to nip and have tyres swapped over ..
