PPIHC being 12 miles in length, 60% tarmac and 40% hard gravel, the choice of tyres is a tough one, especially when you dont have the funds to just 'throw' money at choices, test and decide. So here are our options; Hoosier DOT Wet (people who race on these in the wet love them), Kumho W710's which look very close to what we need, but if it stays hot all weekend on the hill we'll fry these babies quickly, or go with a tyre Im leaning towards, which is the Silverstone S595's. The S595 is a proper tarmac rally tyre, so it would have a very stiff sidewall, and being an intermediate weather tyre should give us the dirt and tarmac grip. If it rains with any of these tyres we'll be well ready to keep going hard. We are meeting Silverstone tyre importer this week and discussing availability. The Kunhos are out of the size we need (only 275's available) Hoosiers are in stock. We'll see where this all goes. Stay tuned.
