Those new Yoki's are pretty spesh huh, I'm running the same size compound on mine now and I cannot wait to see if I can beat my 03G time :)

At Oran and Eastern Creek, 50's in M's are a second quicker - be prepared there a bit soggy compared to 285 Dz03's, Yoki's were a bit quicker, but easier on the bankcard! Soft compound seems great on R32 with less grunt, they get over it too quick on R33 - M's are the go for me.

Must say havent tried em in the wet yet, so will probably put the dunlops back on for that occasion, although on behaviour, I do have high expectations of the Yoki's with 50% plus tread in wet.

Nice PI time. How to you rate the 050's against the RE55's?

It's a little hard to tell as first time on PI but seemed to be quiet good, the wear was comparable to the re55's and didn't seem to suffer what I experienced with the R888's in tread block squirm. They do seem to have some tread block movement due to the design but it seems to be only minor that shows in the wear on the tyre when you are looking at them and not through the wheels.

The FR is nearly dead but apparently that is expected at PI and suffered from getting a bit too much pressure too quickly and I didn't bleed it off quick enough so wear in the centre of the tyre is higher.

Felt fast, stable at higher speeds and came on quiet a lot quicker then what I would experience with the RE55's. I didn't expect this and found myself getting stuck into it earlier and earlier then what I would normally.

Probably the best tyre I have tried but would like to see the results on a home track before singing its praises.

Thanks for that. RE55's are getting very hard to get at the moment. May try the 050's next to see how they compare.

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
