Yeah Stu post some piccies, i give ya 1800 ks n they'll be utterly shagged, but what a shagging they'll get :wink: . As for Bellbird Park raceway can you check my grove is still worn on the "up n down racetrack" on your way up, I'd hate to have to start another grove when i get back home.

Hammer, report?

I got a BT020 50/200 ($245)put on the rear, feels way better than the 014 so far, grooves are narrower and tread is deeper and looks like a far better pattern :wink:

So far i have done about 600ks on these new racetec tyres and finding them great.
They have impoved the 12`s turn in while still being stable up to around the 280 mark (Track use of course :) )
The rear tire has a soft sidewall they tell me to reduce bump steer which does at times make it feel abit flat.
Even in the wet they seem good which surprized me.
Will post again when i get to give em a full on hard time but so far so good.
