    Wanting to try a 195/65 and 120/70 UK slicks. Would prefer they have a full day left in them. Will be at Putnam this weekend if that helps.

    Dunlop UK has released the 212's. You might be switching to a tire thats about to be discontinued.

    Buy a UK front 302 and the US rear 7455 for Putnam. The UK rears are almost impossible to find now as everyone is running a US rear...

    I have some 7455s, but not going to be at Putnam...

    Buy the UK front and US rear. Trust me - you will NOT be disappointed. And if you are, you can sell the take offs super quick as they are very popular...

    The US fronts are as good now.

    The rears are good too just not as good as the UK but worth the savings

    The rears are better than the UK version at this stage. Plus, you cannot find fresh UKs very well as they are pretty much running solely US rears in stock. And the US front is better, but will not be surpassing the 302 or the new compound coming soon for the masses...
