I need to get some new R-specs for the Qld Dutton Rally. Gary's Motorsport want $475 each for Dunlop Direzza 235/45 x17s. Can you get these (or something better) cheaper anywhere else?
Cheers.

CT - last year we ran a medium Dunlop in the STi and they were just about torn to shreds after 8 or so laps of QR. There are no wet events in this year's QLD event.
Fark....I guess it really is weight (and power) dependent. Mind you, the R888s on the 170rwkw silvia barely took a hiding at all last year. I was pretty impressed with them considering they are well priced too. I think they were a medium compound too.
A slow day at the track is better than any day in the office.
Bugeye Stis aren't "light". The day was about 30 degrees and we didn't exactly run any warm up laps apart from driving it to the circuit. I think the main issue was probably a lack of front camber.
