It'd be nice to see another tyre brought into the nats/regional choice range. CML ought to get them sent off to the BRCA for homlogation!

Ive run these today on my X6 at our Keighley track and they are spot on! Very good ware rate and fantastic grip even when the track got loose. Bought a set for my 4WD to try too but didn't get chance to give them a good run.

I'm trying them on polished floor on Friday so if they work the I think we're onto a winner .

its down to the individual clubs to nominate tires for an event. I doubt there will be anything this year now that will have them as a nominated tire. but i can see them havin more of a role next year.
