    I am more than happy with the Toyo R888 mate in the GG compound and I want to stay with R rated tyres.

    I am lookng at going to 17 for reduced rotating mass and reduction in cost per tyre as well as a larger choice of tyres. Not really interested in the Federals I have heard a lot of horror stories about them from others using them in events I have competed in but thanks for the heads up all the same.

    What about 17" TT rims? They seem to come up for sale much more often. Dunno if they clear the brakes though. Does/did Paul Keefer have some sort of 17" rims on his R32?
    Cheers,

    Not planning on upgrading to 18s until next year sorry, otherwise mine would be up for grabs...unless I get some magical injection of funds! Will keep you in mind when I end up doing it. Sticking with 17's would be better for a lot of reasons, but I'll see what she looks like after she's been lowered
