Is the wheel straight? I know Hunter type machines are supposed to allow for wheel variance but only is the aligning garage rolled the car when set up.

Lay one on the floor. If you can do it face down without damaging the face. Hopefully the tyre is proud of the wheel. You can compensate for that if not. Then put a straight edge over the top of the now uppermost (inside face of the tyre) Measure down to the floor. It will be around 230. Half...

I see a lot of cars run too low a pressure on track, because the internet "told them to". I would very much advise going out at 30, do two laps then come in and adjust them down to what you want. Snetterton has some long, fast corners and Coram and the like will just take the shoulder off your...

:think:

Snetterton is a long track, if you are breaking 2:40 on road tyres in a road car you are peddling well. If you want to keep temps down then you can be on it by the time you come to Bentley Straight and then 3 further laps is already going to see you over 10 minutes. And I can assure everybody...

It is the unsupported edge of rubber that folds into the tread void from the side that the load is applied to. Because that folds into, or more so there is nothing supporting the rubber at that point it is not subject to the same load as the more solid rubber and so does not wear as much. It is...

Very much so. I assume plasticine is still a thing, but all that stuff like Blu Tac starts out hard and you knead it to soften in and make it sticky. It is the squidging it (and the heat from your hand) that gives it the heat. If you run tyres soft, the main deflection occurs in the sidewall...

Your problem with both of these tyres is heat, or more to the point lack of it. If you had been circulating for 10 minutes before it started to rain you stand a chance or if you are doing a longer distance where you have time to actually get some sort of heat in them then you again can get on...

Toby, I am not having a particular go, more that "apparent" safety is very prevalent across social media. The current "knowledge" is that reclining seats should not be used with harness. I too have raced for many years. The point I wanted to make, so that everyone is aware, not poke at you, is...

Sorry, boring old fart post about safety. This is not a pop at anyone but more safety advice prompted by two excursions off track as I see many, many things like this. Without HANS, the standard seatbelt, with pretensioner and then load limiting rip plates and airbag is far safer. I knew someone...

A slightly faster lap then. https://www.facebook.com/406612859368679/posts/2576104209086189/

£20 delivery on a set of 4. I will fit them for you for that price if you come to Northampton.

That's a negatory on the Trackday. Trackdays will expose any weakness that driving to Tesco's will mask. It is likely to fail on track with one of very many possible outcomes, some of which may be quite emotional. At best, it will leave you with a problem of how to get home with no clutch.

You have seen the two video's I'm sure?

£624 with the vat.

We have many people removed Direza in favor of the MRF ZTR, Civic Cup tyre as they have found them just as fast, if not faster. Fiesta Juniors, which have to run a treaded tyre, have gone faster in all races against the Direza that was previously used. In addition they should be noticeably...

No, 200 Cup and 182,000 miles and sweet as a nut.

There is a lot of tyres because they can be got through rather quickly.

Oh, and in addition, they are doing what they were built for by the designers, to cover a multitude of uses and perform very well as standard on track.
