Tyres - choice for Marina Wheels

Post by _h_____ »

Ok, So I have happily run Yokohama A539 185/60/R all round on the car at the moment. But the front tyres are up for renewal and the Yokos are on back order - everywhere!
I have been offered some S306 yokos instead, but dont like the look of them, and have heard that they are bit more run of the mill.

I am after something in the same size, which has good wet, and strong dry grip, with a stiff side wall. The best I have found is a Pirelli P6000, but I am not so keen on these either, they are not as aggressive as Yokos, any one got any better ideas, or know where there may be a stash of A539s?

As always thanks for the help.

Try Goodyear Ventura ( just as good as eagle f1 but last twice a long and work in the windter)

Or Vreiderstine Pro track, i had them on a Saphire Cosworth 4x4 and they worked realy well
