      Picked up 6 new Dunlop DZ03s today ready for next weekend. Not used these before so looking forward to trying them out.

          They look very similar to a Yokohama A048. Dunlops tend to be spot on too so they should be really good. What compound are they? Will be on the hunt for tyres myself soon

            They're mediums. They are very like a 48. I have always bought my tyres from John Morgan at Fairfield and he recommended these as I'll be running in Road Rally Class. They were a great price too.

                I'm going to have a bash at Brawdy in July. Are you doing that one?

                  Im tempted to do it.. did it last year and loved it. But Im doing Caerwent on the 23rd and then I need to change a few things on the car suspension wise so may have to give it a miss and save the money for Mewla ain August. I'll be down there for a watch or servicing if im not competing though. I highly recommend some hard tyres for down there.. I destroyed a pair of new medium Yoko 48's in 4 stages last year.

                    Those medium DZ03 are apparently a bt harder than a medium 48 so will try those I think.

                    Come and say hello if you can.

                        The car had it's debut today at the very rainy/sunny/rainy again Epynt Hillclimb.

                        I haven't done a hillclimb before and found it hard to get into a rhythym when each run was so short!

                        Nevertheless the car was fantastic and didn't need a spanner anywhere near it all day and I ended the day with a class win (granted I was the only car in the class)!

                        Really looking forward to the Brawdy Stages on July 7th now to get some proper mileage. Never had a car that brakes and handles so well.

                          Well done, how were the tyres? Thinking of trying a set myself.

                            I didn't use the DZ03s. I had a set of part worn Yokohama AO35s which are a bit softer so used those.
                            Will try the others at Brawdy and let you know.

                                It's the Brawdy Stages on Sunday and I'm seeded dead last of the main field! Car has had fresh oil and a spanner check and is ready to go, can't wait to get started!
