Hi Andy
These are the control tyres we use in the KUMHO BMW Championship.
They are excellent. Great grip, terrific feel and good wear. Try Protyre (subsidiary of Micheldever)for current offer prices.

I use them on my kit car. They seem really good and are at least safe in the wet. Not tried any other track day tyres though so can only compare them to Toyo T1-S'.

i've used them to good effect on my race car, they come in different compounds and the softest will work quite well in the wet unless its really wet, in which case they really more cuts in them, i did once go out on them in the dry and destroyed them after only a few laps but by god did i have some grip whilst they lasted, through the twisty stuff i was able to live with rods 4x4 escort cosworth without 4wd or massive power, but i dont think the kuhmo bmw's use the sofest compound.

We use the hard compound in the Kumho's and they're fine once warmed up and last really well. I was talking to someone today at Llandow that also used the soft and he said the same thing....but he used them in Malaysia and believed the medium compound was best and the soft were only worth a look if used in winter
