Thinking of ordering some of these. Available from 2Bennett in USA.
If I do order, am I right that marking the parcel 'gift' will avaoid any duty?

Might help to improve turn-in, can't remember how castor affects handling though

[s2driveruk]

toe for turn in i think the more negative u dial in the sharper it becomes but scrubs the tyres

[GT500]

MOre castor = more camber in roll, steering gets heavier.

wouldn't mind trying some! should help with the usual Audi safe understeer.

...but scrubs the tyres

Story of my life after recent track days, that 25mm RARB is an animal but driving a 2 ton S2 like a Golf GTi takes it's toll! I've almost wrecked a set of spanking new F1s...

[jogi730]

The tuner now working on my car does a fair amount of racing and track days. he swears by Toyo Proxes 888's. Says they have outlasted anything he has ever tried before. How they would perform on a heavy S2 i don't know. Anyone tried them?
They are road legal slicks apparently. Again he says they work fine in the wet too!

Wonder how these might work with the Typ85 coilover kit Corey is offering?

I am using them at the moment. 2500km + 8 rounds at the Ring so far and still a lot of "rubber" left. (I am using -2,5deg camber at the front and -2 deg rear.) I am very satisfied with the grip compared to price.
If you want to step it up on notch the Yokohama 048 tires have even more grip but are also more expensive.

<<<<<<<<is looking for a set of R888's as i plan on more track time next year

I just spoke to Reyland (0121 458 6010) and was quoted £475 delivered incl. VAT for a set of 225/45R17 888s. So £500 fitted I'll have to give them serious consideration but just a little concerned about using them every day in the UK as they're not the best in the wet. The other option is to go for 16s as track tyres and use the 17s every day... shame I just sold the Avus alloys . Erwin with the Alfa 75 used Pirelli P-zero Rosso Assimetrico extra-loads as they have a stiffer sidewall and they seem very good in all conditions.

I've was also told that they are not the best in the wet, but I use mine also in the wet and I have tried them @ high speed on the German Autobahn in the wet. I must say I am very satisfied with performance also in rain

[GT500]

Andy, If you are wanting super grippy tyres on, I would suggest Dunlop super sport race tyres, I have em on my RS2. they are shiit to a blanket! fantastic in the wet.
Mine have done 10,000 miles so far!
They have to be the "race" tyres not just sport.

Thanks Rob, I'll have a look. Best start another thread. Sorry to hijack yours Chris!
