Do what everyone else does, steal your ideas
Start with what the fast guys are using |

It would narrow the choice,but there are only three makes worth considering,Dunlop,Yoko's or Toyo. Possibly depends on your budget?

I think all the MGs in the Castle Combe championship run Yokohama AD08s. Certainly all the fast ones do.

AD08s seem to be an intresting tyre - yoko describe them as a track day tyre, but I've never heard of them before! |

As above, the Yokohama AD08 is the tyre of choice at Combe and for hillclimb runners when 1As are needed.. The racers at Combe all seem to have a "wet" tyre as well (Yokos are obviously a bit iffy in serious wet conditions) and a lot have Uniroyal Rainsport 2s..
