Usually use rainsport 2's which are fine for day in day out.

I want something a bit better if a possible on the Let to help with grip.
Are Pirelli p7 as good as they make out? Tyrefactors are selling them £30 a tyre cheaper than camskill.


Or any other recommendations?

What car are they for? I swear by PS2 or PS3!

Running brand new PS3 on my S3 and they are amazing. Also bought from Tyre factors

I use rainsport 2's as wet track tyres and can't fault them for the price also good in the dry. Vredestein sessanta are also a good all round tyre

I found these to be good on my Vectra too - will start using them again now I've seen them for a very good price on that Tyrefactors site.

i meant for road tyres on the strip they aren't too bad

for actual road tyres they'd be great, very grippy in that sense. better than rainsports
