track day tyres

[dino]

anybody know where i can get some track day tyres from. Don't want brand new ones just some part used
need a reliable contact because threr are four of us with golf's and we always struggle to find tyres.

All depends on what you want.  I managed to find a guy who could get hold of some slick Michelin tyres for £120 the set but after I e-mailed him to do the deal (I wanted 2 sets) he never replied.

If you want semi slicks then the chances of getting part warns are very slim.  You are better of buying new ones and if you are buying in bulk you should be able to get a deal.

I'm probably going to go for Yoko A048R's for about £60 a corner (on 14's) or £90 a corner (on 15's) which should last me about 3/4 track days.

i used to run a032r's and they were great tyres the yoko 48's are superior though

Toyo 888s all the way, great in the wet...amazing in the dry

I'd like to second the comment about the R888's.
