Tyres for a Tuscan ...???

[sandman]

I was looking at my tyres the other day, and I reckon It won't be too long before I need some new ones. However, it got me thinking if anyone out there recommends fitting other tyre makes (not mixing tyre makes of course).

I know Tuscans can come with Bridgestone tyres, mine has Toyo tyres (supposed to be better for avoiding tramlining). Any other recommendations ...?? What about Michelin tyres??

This is one that has been cured for 21 years in a oak barrel........I changed from S02's to Toyos after much (as you do) agonising over which rubber

I know Andy Moore did much the same and ended up putting Goodyear Eagles F1 GSD3 on primarily for the road ride

It does depend on what you want in the way of handling road or track. It seems my Toyos are much better all round and certainly don't tramline as much as the Bridestones - but (and that's the crux of it) they are relatively new, well not now after having taken huge quantities off them after a driver development day, whereby trying to achieve lift off oversteer required huge throttle openings on a surface as grippy as grippy things grippy friend! It broke my heart and demolished the wallet

I'd go with the Toyos (the 40's) but make sure you buy them with an E stamp, there are some really cheap ones out there from North America but the compound is very different, try Black Circle Tyres [url]www.blackcircles.com[/url] mention the TVRCC and you should get a good price

hope that helps - maybe
