E30 M3 Track Day Tyre Choice and Pressures

[drhildr]

Seeking input as to the choice of road legal trackday rubber for an E30 M3 and corresponding pressures? Thinking 888's but prepared to be guided......

A few mates have used and like 888's - think they run them at 25 psi.

I used Dunlop D01G - they were great and despite the soft compound lasted well but were replaced by D02Z, which I can't comment on.

Currently have Kuhmo Ecsta V70 Hard Compound R tyres, as used in the BMW Kumho Championship.

They are great and I run them at 28 psi hot, however they don't come in the factory size for 16" wheels, so I have 205/45 - 16's.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Thanks - the car is sat on 18" at the moment - may have to change them.
