ManwithSupra Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Hi All, Looking at the weather this year it looks as if its going to be highly likely I am going to need a set of full race spec wet tyres at some point. Does anyone know of a good source to purchase full race wets? Either new or part worn? and what are the best/better brands to look at?

pedrosixfour Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 If a decent set of wet and/or dry race tyres for 17" rims (9" & 10" widths) ever comes up on anyone's radar I'd be glad of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need 9's (255's) and 10.5's (285's) Will still message him to see if he has anything. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 You may struggle to find wets that wide, 250`s all round should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 SteveL got his off a Porsche Cerrera Cup team. Not sure on the width of the wets, but the slicks werea tad too wide with his Rota Boost wheels and rubbed slightly, even with rolled arches. Might be worth exploring though? There should be a few used sets lying around with the weather we have had this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
