I run on list 1a tyre (Toyo Proxes T1-R's). This is a control tyre for the series.
I get a set of tyres for £140 and then spend £50 having them buffed.
They last at least half a season.
Other people that used to run in our series have gone on to others that allow list 1b or slick tyres have ended up spending £1-2K a year on tyres and not even being competitive any more. They have also ended up with a far less reliable car.
Yep, list 1b tyres are amazing (I run Kuhmo's on the kit car) but list 1a allow me to keep racing competitively whilst having a baby/life/house.
When I win the lottery, yep I'll be straight on slicks, along with the £2-3K to uprate the car to suit and the extra £3-5K a year to run the car competitively.
