Hi all

Going with a mate to a track day at Wakefield next field run by trackschool

I was wondering if I should run with my 19s or change back to my 17s RFT.

I can't afford new tires at this stage but I want a good feel of the track and handling

Thank you

What tyres are on your 19s?

[mrtanz]

Continental extreme dw

You'll be fine with the 19s, won't wear out the tyres that much.

Check tyre pressure and all that etc.

If you're really keen, consider swapping brake fluid and pads for something a bit more track oriented.

Yeh just run the 19s. I had a set of tyres which had seen 3 track days on them and they still lasted a while.

the low profile wont cause damage to the rim would it
