175/60 tyres in the UK
Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2016 4:37 pm
I know that there have been lots of threads regarding Elan tyres in the UK, but availability etc is changing all the time, & I would like to ask the question again about experience here.
My modified S2 is mainly used for sprints & track days, but also is road legal, so any tyres must satisfy both areas.
Currently I have 4 x A539 Yokos 175/60's fitted (on 13in 5J bolt on Minilites - under 5k miles on these tyres from new - less than a year ago) but of these the fronts are now badly flat spotted (after a sprint at Marham Airfield) & all round they were melting (with marbles) after an event at Cadwell Park on a very hot day / track a few weeks ago, ......... so now need replacing.
Any thoughts gratefully received.
