List 1a tyres

[spanner7]

I need a new set of tyres for the new season sprinting. I know people have raved about the Stunner Scudos and they seem to have performed rather well for their drivers needing 1a.

But does anyone here have any experience of the "sister" tyre, the Marangoni Zeta Linea?

I have heard it's the same tyre but with a softer compound. But why is it not used as prevalently as the Stunner?

Any ideas or experience?

With a name like Linea perhaps its only any good in a straight line

Is it actually on the 1a tyre list ?

So not a tyre too many of you are familiar with then.

It's on the 1a list in the 2007 MSA regs. I've rung around a few local tyre dealers and none of them have/can get them. I will have to widen my search a bit.

I've used the Marangoni for drifting, they are the SMOKIEST tyre you could possibly imagine which means they are very soft. The nearest thing to them in term of softness/smokieness is Toyo 888's which are obviously not what your allowed.

I now it's not an exact explanation but it gives some idea, there is huge difference in a tyres capabilities with big slip angles
