I have seen a few ZTT's (in the last 9 years) but only remember one 75V8 for sale

Much better now with Uniroyal Rainsport 3s all around, quieter and much more "planted".

Yes, the difference in "feel" that a decent set of rubber gives you, is hard to quantify!

Ive just ditched my Haidi tyres on my powerful 116 bhp car God knows what it would be like on a 260!

Chinese budget tyres should be banned on high performance cars but if an owner is tight enough or stupid enough to buy them thats their call.
(Awaits the usual band of brothers stating they use them drive sensibly and never had any problems blah blah!)

Best tyres i found for the V8s were Hankook Ventus EVO 2 or 3.

Stiff as hell sidewalls, decent grip, good price, helps the handling a lot and dont have the crabbing thing that the contis did on the front.

I will endorse t16 view as I run the same tyres and will replace with the same when time comes around.
