Seems to be a lot of just X2 tyres

eBay item numbers:

Yoko's:
280950108003

1 Yoko, quite cheap; same seller^
271043943135
You'd only need to look for 1 more then, or message the guy and see if he has more.
Works out quite cheap for a set then

Tarmac race tyres:
280946858141

I'll have a gander on pistonheads now

I'd buy the pair of Yoko's at least anyway,
Even if you have to put them away for a bit,
You know your going to go through a few sets of tyres.

A pair on the back will last ages, you'll only be going through fronts really

Too much mix and match really, if I buy 4 x New r888 I can still sell them for probs half what they cost when they get close. Thanks for your lovely efforts though

What about R1-r's? They're more like the ADO8's but cheaper.

I had them on my old Corsa track car, and I loved them round Combe, it was the first time I overtook most cars I came across.

I can only find them in 205/55.

Yeah I saw that when I was looking just. 15's worked out pretty cheap, but the 16's seem to have a massive leap price.
