Just to make it clear. We are NOT going to RACE. However we will do circles around the track. laptime is no important, so is any sort of record breaking or top speed attempt of maximum speed while taking a turn record. Know your limits and drive sensibly. Most of all have fun. | |

Which Yoko do you have on your i10 anyway? Is it the 185/60 R14 ES100? | |

Also the dealer said something about the rating of the Tyre. Potenzas are 'V' rated and Accelere is 'H' rated. Not sure which is better | |

and by the way if you are running good tires expect your car to be pretty quick. Quote:
Besides hopefully all the trial runs should be over within the first 30 min else we would be left with very little time since everyone is going to have to wait for a while as the expected turnout is quite big. Last edited by petrol_head : 22nd February 2010 at 22:09. | |||

H rated means 210kmph. Will your i10 do that? V rated is good for 240 kmph. Now, you tell me, do you think this will actually make a difference? Potenza GIIIs are ok, but they are old tyres. They arent sold anywhere else in the world. However, they are noisy. Probably on par with the ES100. | |
