What were your findings on the Yokohama A048's for track use?

Anybody else know?

Thanks,

KT

Brad told me they are not track tires, too.
I don't agree on our light cars. They don't break loose or get greasy during a 30 minute session.
When I drive them to the limit, we'll see. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

I dont know your background, but Brad knows way more then me. I'd be inclined to listen to someone that's been through that much.

I didnt know he doesnt like 710s. That makes 4 independent sources whose knowledge I hold very valuable that dont like the tire.

But who knows, they could all be wrong (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
