Wez is doing savage prices on Maxsports, hearing great things back about them.

I use Kuhmo v70's myself and cant fault them but fairly pricey!!

I have bfgoodrich gforce on the front of my silvia it never understeers. i also used them on my old levin when i did some racing. heaps of grip. their way better then toyo t1rs and better then the 888 ones. In the wet an so on..

ive used toyo r888's with the last 3 years and never once had any problem with them and there is still loads left on them,brilliant wet or dry,used goodyear eagle f1's before that and could not fault them to be fair,,
heard great things from dan,wez and barry bout the maxsports,ill try them next but in saying that i couldnt fault the r888's
just remember its not just bout the tyre,,its also the setup,,you could have the best of rubber and with a bad setup the car will not perform,i found this before i went to wez with exact same setup as i have now i was struggling with front end grip and transitioning back ect,,we spent the time setting it up with plenty of idea swapping and feedback and the difference was night and day,his machine is known to be one of the most accurate in the business,

so id get onto wez and ask him bout the maxsports and maybe get the car setup with him and i gaurentee you will not regret it,
:wink:

I run 888's up front and can safely say ive never understeered in the M3 ever! Saying that, Wez's Maxsports are supposed to be great, so may try a set of them next.

all tyres for drift competitions have to be road legal if I'm not mistaken, that makes rally comp tyres illegal, it's a waste practicing with them if you have to use different tyres to compete.

Road legal as in would it pass an NCT and yes Maxsports will because they have an E-Mark.
