Does anyone know anywhere that has the F1 Supercar EMTs for sale? 275/35 18.

I'd like the car to be on the best possible form for the figures we are going to do with evo magazine next week!

Hi David,

Don't know if Micheldever Tyres at Micheldever Station, Micheldever, Hants, would have them. If they don't they are more likely than most to know where to get them.

By the way, thanks for the ride on Tuesday night. Like an F18 climbing off the Enterprise ! About the same noise too !!

Thanks guys, already tried both of them today! Micheldever don't have them and the GSD 3 is not the same as the F1 Supercar EMT...

Hi David, thanks for the test run in your ZO6 at the Fairmile - really enjoyed that. Sure is quite nippy! Sounds pretty nice when you rag it. It was a nicer ride than I had expected, after all that stuff about harshness etc, Not too bad at all IMO.
Thanks again mate!

I'm pretty certain Steve at our pdi centre has some in stock. Give him a call (01908 288 658). As you're aware they will definitely not be the cheapest, but I'm sure you could barter with him.

Thanks James, I might do, but I've just taken the car out again and it doesn't seem that bad.
We are mainly doing straight line performance figures, although if there's time we are also going to do a timed lap of Bedford's West Circuit and that is predominantly left hand corners which are fine!

I didn't know that both front and rear F1 Supercars are asymmetric only, i.e. not directional so what I should have done is swap the front wheels over when the left was half worn. You don't even need to pull the tyres off!

Anyway, something to remember for the next pair...
