Dunlop

As it's a 250, I've always been loyal to Dunlop. If 250 GP stars love them, they are good enough for me.

I have used others in the past, Bridgestone were the next best, but Dunlops were better.

i have used bridgestone wets and found them to grip amazingly well - my best ever race was on wets for the first time at Pembrey - i started 39th on the grid and finished 12th, most of the riders behind were on intermediate tyres, the ones in front were all on bridgestone or dunlop wets. I even lapped a load of riders who i usually raced amongst at dry meets. The difference they make is huge. I have a set of Avon wets on a spare set of wheels for my NSR. I used them briefly at Cadwell though i never got to the point of pushing them very hard. They seemed fine though. If you are thinking of getting some for the Cemetry circuit i'd definately encourage it - though i dont know what the rules for formula 3 are? They probably dont allow slicks or wets?

Cheers for the reply!

F3 rules say that slicks and wets are all good Exclamation

I've started getting some prices together but it's not looking like I'm gonna get much change from $1000NZD Sad

Does anyone know what the difference is between the block stlye wet and the new grooved style????
