There are load on evilbay - never think you're getting a good deal, most of them will be pants.

Or .....
You can always look for Special Offers on Hobbythek or Pitstop Racing.
On Fleabay, check the initial description.
As you're 'on the lookout', you'll already have a reasonable idea of the prices. If the description says 'New' and the price is right, it may simply be old stock not selling, but could be perfectly fine for you ...

im running really low on tyres and keep looking on ebay but im after job lots really,id rather have more than just a pair or set of four.

13.6kg and soft tyres on tarmac don't agree with each other.

And careful not to get old type tires. I got some "New" GRP and PMT cheap. And they are useless.......

You're doing well, most people have worn a set out after a 30 minute main A final.

we only do heats about 10 mins long each.

IMO for car parks, the PMT kronos used to last a long time as they did on tracks.
The simple fact is, on road tyres are designed for competition on track use not carparks and such (it's different tarmac too).

Longest lasting will be the hardest tyres but they don't work well unless you get plenty of heat into them and there is good grip i.e lots of rubber down or an abrasive track.

The latest GRP tyres that the racers use these days are A for cold/low grip and C for reasonable grip/warmer weather.

iv only used A's and B's so far but I need as many soft and medium compound tyres as possible because iv already got loads of hard comp just not many of the others.next year I will be racing every weekend so im trying to spend what I have to now while im hardly doing any racing to make it cheaper next year.our cars only race on an oval which will explain the tyres wearing less compared to touring cars on a full circuit.
