    Re: Transformer arrives in Colchester

    I have run TB15's and TB5's in competition (front 205-215/40x15 and rear 295-335/35x15) and can say that there is NO "twitchiness" whatsoever.......... TB 15's are great in the wet giving excellent grip.... however during a dry 20minute race the tread did rip off in lumps (this was my mistake only having a set of wets available to me at the time)
    For short dry stages they were great, giving good grip off the line and not getting too hot and ripping tread off during a 8 mile tarmac stage..... IMHO great tyres

    IL add to this and say what others are thinking, your set up company hasn't got a clue what they are doing. Just because someone has got some laser alignment kit doesn't automatically mean they know how to use it.
    The old guard here know what they are talking about, they have all found what works, over hundreds of thousands of miles between them, which when you check, is very similar to what was run back in the day. I'd suggest your issues are down to the standard of build and lack of knowledge rather than everyone else being wrong.

    As a general observation I don't believe the Stratos actually works the front tyres hard enough to get enough heat into them to make "sticky" tyres work unless some very specific work is done to make it happen.
