After much research, including tyre tests here, USA, and UK, forums, and friends trusted opinions I decided they would do the job. As you can see from the table they have a treadware of 100, as opposed to the other realistic options, being Kumho- 50, RE55- 40. If anyhting they will better suit heavier cars. Two different motorsport tyre dealers warned me against tyres such as Silverstone etc with lower Treadware on heavy track cars. I wanted to buy the Kumhos, but the right sizes aren't available right now. I guess I'll find out soon enough.
