Autotesting - Tyres
Well my mum and I have finally got an autotest car ('91 twin carb Civic!) and we need some sticky tyres for the front, we have a few options
when it comes to wheels. Remember, I'm on student budget!
Original steels are 13"
We have a set of 14" 'loys from a CRX
Or I could try get a set of some wider/lighter 13'"
We will prob stick to original 13" on the rear with skinny tyres as we need the back to slide around a bit. What would be the best wheel/tyre
combination on the front? I cant afford Toyo 888s or the like so was thinking about Yoko A539s as the car will get used in the wet occasionally.
Opinions gents?
Here's the pic + vid of my last run, dont laugh! This was I'm my mum's CRX and thats her laughing at the end! She wanted to be
passenger when I was driving so I didn't rag her car too hard

There were several C****hams at the event which spent most of the time going backwards due to the rain. Looked like fun though!
Thanks,
Iain

Hi Iain
I have a set of four 185/60/14 Colway F2 cut slicks (3 are legal) which would be ideal. If you have anyone going from Sussex up your way you are
welcome to them.

forgot to mention that they are cr*p in the wet with my Phoenix but possibly better with a heavier car.
