What rubber are you planning for your track wheels?
Not sure yet. I'm used to running Toyo RA-1s or R888s but they are over $400 each over here. On my Mini's 15" setup it would run me $1000 for a full set mounted. Options I have found:

Hoosier R6/A6: $317 each UTQG: 40 - Talontire.ca
Hankook Z214: $236 each UTQG: 40 - tirerack.com (+shipping)

Hankook RS-3: $258 each UTQG: 140 - tirerack.com (+shipping)
Toyo R888: $405 each UTQG: 100 - 1010tires.com (+shipping)

Looks like I'll get the best bang for my buck with RS-3s though I do have a soft spot for Hoosiers

Ill keep u in the loop of the events I'm running (open lapping days).

Cheers

Amit
