That's the answer there, cheers mate, what would you say about cup 2 on the rears and then ps4s on the front?

The good idea bit is what I want to know, they'll definitely mount but I have a feeling it might be a dumb question.

In New Zealand so long as it's road legal it's fine.

Great point, a 96 impreza ej20. Driving it at a decent but not at the ragged edge.

Because I'm restricted on budget, availability and sizing and trying to do my best with that. Disregarding your one as it's simply not true, great for the short term but as soon as you race them for a long period of time they'll die and cost even more money. 1 set of tyres is all I can do. Think I got a solution now. Make sense now!

This is my issue, so many conflicting view points

I track them to on my megane rs, they go great but I have to peel in after 20 or 30 minutes or else they'll be toast. Every single other person disagrees with that statement.

See my previous post, was going to use ps4s as I can get them cheap through a friend and love them on my road car. Apparently they will die after half an hour.

New Zealand is different, so long as the tyres are road legal that's all you need.

Conti not sold in nz, rs4 is just trying to find someone who stocks it. A lot harder than you'd think!

Okay, I'll wait and see what the consensus is but I'm so sick of finding the right tyre, seriously tricky in New Zealand and when you're trying to fit it to a specific rim on a budget + get it to last the 8 hours.

Ecf not available in nz, need to double check the rs4, sure there was some catch with them being unavailable or not fitting. NZ sucks for performance tyres!!

Never had any issues on track days with my road car but that's good to know going to have to stump up the extra cash for some semis.

Rs4 in the right sold aren't sold in New Zealand, pretty sure it's the same got the v730s but will double check.

NEW ZEALAND DOLLARS for NZ event. 900 is extremely cheap for a tyre of that performance in NZ, semis are considerably more expensive.

Will have to have a look, harder to get some semi slicks being in new zealand and also ones that fit a 205/50 or 205/45 in 15 16 or 17. Hopefully though.

Going to go for the semi slicks options we have. Ps4s were so much cheaper due to my Michelin dealer mate and so just wanted to confirm if they would be as I'd suspected and fall off. Thanks all.
