Pimm Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I have another track day in August to go and thought about using my original 18's that came with the car but the rear tyes have exactly 1.6mm tread on them, as long as it is dry should this do for the day ? This would save me some dollars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
was8v Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I would take the rears to the track in the car (will fit in back if you remove the spare, sit one on top of the speakers in front of the strut brace) and swap when you get there. They will defo be very illegal by the time you have finished! Keep a careful eye on the tread depth every few laps - you don't want a blowout at high speed!

No chance, not if you're intending on driving home on them afterwards. If you're going to take them and swap them, then as Was8v says they'll be fine.

marzman Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 ...they wont be fine if it's a bit wet though... i did a sprint day in some 1.6mm tyres, and the car was all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
