If you just being a nosey twit...then your poll makes sense...people often use tyres that are the best deal or because of habit.

Keep an eye on Continentals, these tyres are getting better and better. And when you buy their race tyres they are fresh from production.

Conti all the way. I love em. Great feed back which is super important and great off track support which is also important! With Shaun and Mishy who are usually at most meetings and are both clued up about them you will find what you need to know with ease!

Do contis do a slick?? I wonder if they would be similar to dunlops cause you run similar pressures.... The main reason i like Dunlops is the profile of there front tyre and they dont deteriorate like some other brands

Dunlop N-Tecs are clearly the tyre that has set the line in the sand but there is a new Continental slick that is very very good. Speak to Mishy, he knows more about tyres than anyone.

I've seen them advertised on the Conti web site but don't know if they are available in NZ yet.
