help with tyres required please...

[JakeR]

Hope this isn't rehashing old ground too much, but I would like recommendations for trackday tyres for a BMW e30 325 sport.

basically, they need to be road legal, but fairly track-focused, and if at all possible, not too pricey- I'm not looking to set any records, just want a bit of good old fashioned fun.

any ideas chaps?

if you want some road legal dunlop tyre R (D01J)s, in a 15" * 205/50 size, I've got 4 part worns for sale! The tyres are extremely grippy (soft compound) and have very stiff side walls with a square shoulder profile. They are tons better than toyo proxes, etc. You can also get cheap competition remoulds from people like Colway or Maxsport (tarmac rally tyres in soft, road legal compounds) for about £50 a corner (approx). A tyre must have 17% 'land/sea ratio' to be road legal, hence the small squares & crosses carved out of several slick type tyres.

Thanks
