[Nords]

Nords they have quite good tread on both the rear tyres. Almost but not quite new. Bit worried now cos im doing a track day at Oulton a week on saturday. Cant afford to get another tyre. I have had the punctured one repaired and kept as a spare so could get it fitted back on for the track day so the rears match but the garage said he shouldnt have really repaired it as it was right near the edge of the tyre...

Matt, I really wouldn't track it with cups on the front and road tyres on the back. You'll warm the front up and start to get really good turn in and grip through the turn and the rears will start to overheat and as you ease the power on, it will bite. The fact that the rears have different characteristics is going to make that worse. If you are paying out for the trackday, the petrol for the track and to get there, the trackday insurance (?) it really is a false economy to skimp on the tyres...

Just think how sad you'd be if it spits you off into the tyre barrier! Yes it is a light car, but a CSL places a significant demand though it's tyres...

I agree - good advice.
