Yep, using them now as competition tyres on my Griffith; the reason being that I could get the fronts in a super soft compound unlike other makes that were unavailable at the beginning of the year. Looking around the paddock, they seem to be pretty popular amongst the sprinting/hillclimbing fraternity.
The level of grip is phenomenal from cold & they heat up instantly. I use soft compound on the rear as I like the grip balance to have a forward bias.
Wear wise, I would say the fronts are 60% worn & the rears 40% worn after roughly 40 flat out runs & about 800 road miles.
Oh, & a great price on Camskill.

Also known as 700's as well...I've not used them on the Tamora (Can't get the right sizes)but have them on my TVR V8 powered Westfield SEiGHT. I did 5,500 hard wheel spinning miles on a medium compound. I found them as good as the Yoko 48's and Toyo 888's and really good in the wet. I'd use them again no probs...but tyres are a subjective quantity its like food, women,and music! good luck with the your choice lol!

Just add my usage on a Tamora for TVR Speed Champs.
225 Soft front and 245 (Should have bought 265 as rims are 9 inch) medium rears (18 inch).
Pretty neutral all around on hillclimbs and as good or better than previous 888s. You do need a soft suspension set up for the rear as Speed six spin-up is hard at times to modulate.

Fab tyre that suits the Cerb brilliantly.
I use medium compound rears and hard fronts I end up with good even wear this way. Fantastic feel with these tyres, tram lining a bit worse than a normal road tyre but the grip levels are huge. I have never managed to get then to overheat.
I can't recommend them highly enough for the price.

Used them on the griff for 6years .... Loved them except in heavy rain.... V stiff side walls., good grip and feed back gives confidence to apply more power ......
Currently got toyo r1r which are pretty good but a little soft walled for my liking (probably fine but after 6 years you get used to having that hard side wall).... Will. E going back to them when current tyres done,providing sizes available

Thanks guys - interesting to hear comparisons vs. R888 as that is what I am considering moving from given my preferred supplier is no longer a Toyo dealer. Anything less than this sort of tyre can't really cope on the car.
Don't know if they come in right sizes or not but anyone tried any of the more expensive Pirelli, Michelin, Dunlop etc options?
