Apparently the 285 18 Achilles 123s are better bang for buck and cheaper than 265/35/18 Federal RSR.... AND they're about the same width because RSR's are wider than 265's should be so will fit under by rear end without needing to roll any guards?

Thoughts? Comments? Which tyre should I go for now that I've decided to do Winton on the Friday before DECA in Nov?

Edit: Just need the 2 rears, 18x9.5 (can't remember the offset...) since I've still got enough RS-R on the front to last a few days.

I was speaking to Richo a few weeks ago about this

He is under the impression the compound has changed for the RS-R's now so they are now crap

Better go the Achilles 123s

I might have some new Hankook Rs3's you could use for cheap if you want lol

Rs-3's are a 265/40/18

Good enough tyre to win 1st, 2nd & 3rd at the 2012 WTAC clubsprint class

well Trent certainly thinks they are good bang for buck

this is the stash for WTAC

[Leroy Peterson]

Trent is as WTAC?

... for/with who?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

err... Cat

[Odium]

Are they using them for Drift or Grip though?

I know its WTAC, but the VK is hardly set up for grip?

[Count Grantleyish]

WTAC also have drift challenge going on at same time.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

drift... clearly

[Leroy Peterson]

ahh... pfft sif tyres matter in drift

track day at winton after a drift day was the worst. debris and shit everywhere. im surprised they would a drift comp before a time attack. probably brings more crowd/sponsors

[Down_Shift]

Speaking of tyres, I need some before DECA.

How bad is it to have tyres laying outside for many months through winter and using them?

they matter more for cat in drift with her 700hp twin turbo V8 than they do for you in grip with your 6.3kw shopping trolley if that's what you are asking

Just drop the front shaft and do skids.
