    jasonc23 cuts ridiculously quick times around Winton with the 595s (like 6 seconds a lap better than I can manage ) so I'm glad to hear you find them good, even in unhelpful conditions.

I also asked about the year of manufacture as the other were a couple of years old and he said he would make sure they were the most recent.

    Happy ending
    So who's the seller? They sound worth doing business with.

    They'd be close to the 595 in performance IMO - and dangerous in heavy rain. I'm not a fan of them unless you had a different set of rims/tyres for wet season use.

    Car is getting engine rebuilt atm, yeah they are semis apparently they are day and night difference in traction but as kaanage says Im worried about them during the rain

    Plan is to get some rota's with the nittos but leave the existing tyres on the bbs, but I dont wanna be spinning every-time i take off

    Good idea running two sets. Think I will have to go down that road to eventually.

    That's a virtue of having uncool little wheels.
    Semi-slick prices are even more attrocious with ultra low profiles.
