Re: Has DDK been hacked by Pirelli ?

That is

Michelin also make the semi slick TB5 as well which can handle a little more heat

Re: Accommodation recommendation - Circuit des Remparts

IMO Logis are by far the best way to enjoy France, check out the Logis de Frwnce website or buy a book on the ferry and take pot luck. They're all good value, family run, government guaranteed and the food is superb. We did Angouleme a few years ago and the race. It's much noisier than the UK becau...

Re: Has DDK been hacked by Pirelli ?

Hi The selection of TB tyres is currently excellent, with the TB15 and the semi slick TB5 F & R and they also make a wet PB20. I think the determining factor with lots of these Porsches is what width rim do you have. The recommendations are on this page http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/page/miche...

Re: New Porsche homologated Pirelli tyre 165VR15 CN36 N4

Re: Best tyres for a 912 (or SWB 911) ?

Hi No doubt the Michelin 165HR15 XAS is brilliant http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/page/165hr15-michelin-xas.html that was the tyre we strongly recomended until Pirelli got going and offered an alternative.
