Twinspark Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 When I bought my '5 it had a set of the hollow-spoke lightweight multi-spoke wheels on it, shod with Yokohama A-drive tyres. I didn't do many miles on this combination, as the tyres were looking a bit too worn for track days, so I bought a set of wheels from an early MkII shod with Pirelli P6000s. I've done a few track days on the P6000s now, and although I was never 100% happy with them, they're not the ditch finders they're often accused of. Fast forward to today, and I had a set of Uniroyal RainExperts fitted to the lightweight wheels and swapped them onto the car. Just been out on a run in the mountains - what a transformation. The ride is more compliant, the grip levels are up, and when it does start to go, it's very progressive. Remains to be seen how they work on the track - but I suspect they'll be fine. Mrs Twinspark's Alfa will need a new pair of fronts soon, so I reckon we'll give the Uniroyals a go on that, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
