Wez is doing savage prices on Maxsports, hearing great things back about them.
I use Kuhmo v70's myself and cant fault them but fairly pricey!!

im using uniroyal rainsport 2s on the front ov the m3, no bother with em, there epic in the wet and my yolk would b nose heavy! there very cheap 2 if ur on a budget
I have bfgoodrich gforce on the front of my silvia it never understeers. i also used them on my old levin when i did some racing. heaps of grip. their way better then toyo t1rs and better then the 888 ones. In the wet an so on..
I'm getting another batch of Maxsports in this week they are selling well with ennis on Saturday 100euro a tyre is what I have them for which is a right good price considering they are a e marked track tyre
got maxsports off wez there on friday and cant wait to see how good they are

ive used toyo r888's with the last 3 years and never once had any problem with them and there is still loads left on them,brilliant wet or dry,used goodyear eagle f1's before that and could not fault them to be fair,,
heard great things from dan,wez and barry bout the maxsports,ill try them next but in saying that i couldnt fault the r888's
just remember its not just bout the tyre,,its also the setup,,you could have the best of rubber and with a bad setup the car will not perform,i found this before i went to wez with exact same setup as i have now i was struggling with front end grip and transitioning back ect,,we spent the time setting it up with plenty of idea swapping and feedback and the difference was night and day,his machine is known to be one of the most accurate in the business,
so id get onto wez and ask him bout the maxsports and maybe get the car setup with him and i gaurentee you will not regret it,
:wink:

i think they wer 80 each if i remember, its bein 12 months since buying them, but id be very hard pushed to try any other tires after them.. i have 225,45 17 on the front
how much is it to get wez to set up a car ??
I run 888's up front and can safely say ive never understeered in the M3 ever! Saying that, Wez's Maxsports are supposed to be great, so may try a set of them next.

second hand soft rally tires are your cheapest option, way better than the 888's

very good on wet or dry, just not on diff oil lol
all tyres for drift competitions have to be road legal if I'm not mistaken, that makes rally comp tyres illegal, it's a waste practicing with them if you have to use different tyres to compete.

Road legal as in would it pass an NCT and yes Maxsports will because they have an E-Mark.
