1. Buy one get one free? I don't think so. The people who competed at the first round of the Open Championship, bought two, got two free. The drivers who competed in the first four rounds on the MDA Championship, had another chance to buy two get two free. I think about 15 drivers got two free tyres and about 7 got an additional two. From here on in we have to pay for them all. 2. IMHO I don't think the wear rate of the Silverstone is that much less than the Yoko. Plus due to the fact that the Silverstone is not only directional but also left or right sided, you can't move if around the car like you can with the Yoko's. So realisticly I am going to get no more meetings out of the Silverstone, than I do from the Yokohama 3. This is a pointless discussion, because, as a Stockhatch driver I will race on the tyres I am told to by whichever organisation I am racing under. If I really don't like the tyre an organiser tells me to use, or I feel they are too expensive, I will vote with my feet and race elsewhere. |

Mel, why do Kumho tyres only last one meeting, where as Avons and Yoko's last conciderably longer?
Please give me your view as you represent Kumho and should know the product, or are you embarresed by the 'tyre deal'. I would be if i was in your shoes. The original Kumho rallycross tyre is a good product, and will last a lot longer than the rally tyres that are being used - do you agree? What difference would it make to know who i am, it won't make the tyres any better. |
