Tyres for OS Racing. Whats everyone using?

(1/4) > >>

moley:
I am in need of some tyres. 

The tyres I'm using are a bit worn.   

So I thought I'd invest in some new one's for my first Summer OS Race.

What's everones preference?

Skinny at rear, larger front?

Comp 3's?

Comp 3 copies?

Whats the low-down on racing tyres?   

BITD I just had 1.75" whitewalls front and rear.  And that arrangement wont do me any good for racing.

Any recommendations would be considered epecially if its a cheap option and a wise one.

Thanks

i use wilko copy comp 3's - 4.99 each  :daumenhoch:

you really cant beat the comp 3 tread

larger in the front can give more grip and confidence into turns and a smaller rear is less rolling resistance , also stops the steering being twitchy but back in the day they had matching fronts and rears mostly

if my knowledge of racing cars is correct having more pressure in the rear will mean itl lose grip first ( no one wants the front to slide out on them , its easier to control the rear stepping out ) , a slightly soft tyre will leave a bigger contact patch on the ground , dont go too soft though otherwise itl be squishy

moley:
Has anyone got some contacts for some good Comp III (or copies) that dont cost the earth?
