I'm running Yokahama A032R radials on my series 1 Alpine and Dunlop Racing
formula Ford spec tires (bias) on the Lotus 61. Unquestionably two different
tires. In the case of the Lotus I have no choice, as set by Monoposto regs.
I have to second what Tony says about the tire performance below.
But, if you have no choice, then what choice is there?
