Time for a different brand of Semi Slick...

[god084]

I'd recommend either the Advan 050's in a medium compound or the Hankooks. When you say suspension sorted have you gone coil overs because if you can't get enough camber out i.e. greater than 3.5mm I wouldn't waste your money as you will just blow the shoulders off the semi's

Yeah coilovers get delivered on monday. Have done two days at wakefield and another 2 at EC previously, with only -1.5 camber. ruined my tyres obviously, but did a mid 52 at EC and a mid 9 at wakefield. Looking to step up to semis with a proper alignment and the ohlins when they come will help.

edit: Do the 50's suffer from the poor heat cycling that the 48's do?

[god084]

Ah good stuff! Your times are about to drop significantly then In regards to the 50's I haven't had a huge amount of experience but I was running the 48's before them and the difference was huge! A much better tyre and I had no issues with heat cycling but mine were new. John would know a lot more about them as he has gone through a few sets I think

Yeah I have been around IPRA for a fair while now, my uncle has raced in it for 10+ years. I know he and alot of others were having issues with the tyres dropping off. So much that we could actually see the times drop from one meeting to another, ~1.5 secs slower on the M compound. The MH was always slower but was more consistent.

The A050's are a lot better but check out the hankooks they are getting rave reviews too

I ended up buying some second hand Dunlops from the guys at Wall Racing (Alan East Motorsport)

r888s are great on lighter cars such as mine. but looking to go something else.

demon tweeks in the UK even with shipping can work out cheaper than the locals.
