Regular readers will be aware that I always keep a firm eye on the tyre market particularly that of the kitcar favourite size – 195 x 50 R15. Been looking at the trackday tyre market this week aka the road-legal slick tyre.
Latest kid on the block, that comes incredibly highly recommended, from a couple of mates who seem to spend their lives doing trackdays, is the Vitour Tempesta P1. It’s available in sizes 15in to 21in in various widths in each size.
The Tempesta P1 features 200TW competition compound, which is perfect for trackdays, plus stuff like Time Attack Series and general motorsport use. It is absolutely perfect for kitcar use.
It has been homologated for road use and has been built for consistent grip over long sessions.The 195 x 50 R15 size currently costs £159 each and you can find out more via www.vitourmotorsport.co.uk
