Rich Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Are track tyres made with a different compound then to road ones, hence the expensive prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Yep, compound can be different as can the tread depth and structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I would have thought that once they have a design/mould they could keep the costs down or do they not make enough of them to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 The price is cheap compared to dedicated track tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 The price is cheap compared to dedicated track tyres. Yup... 'proper' slicks / race tyres are silly money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
