Afraid to say that tyres really aren't cheap !

We generally race on Diabolo Supercorsas which are between £245 (if you have a BSB type contact) or around £265 / £275 in the paddock.

I did try BT003's in the RS compound, but they feel vague quite early on in the corner compared to the pirellis, and I fell off three times on one weekend at Cadwell using them.

I think Ballsout Racing (Grev) ran on Power Ones, but my memory isn't great, and it would have been a couple of years ago.....

SuperCorsa's, SC1 front and SC2 rear (approx £260 a set). Tried the Michelin Power one, power race and V's and didn't like them. The SuperCorsa's give you a bit of warning before letting go of the front end where as the equivalent compound on the Michelin's (I found anyway) let go without warning.

Easy to say try a few and see what you work well with but they're an expensive purchase each time. Safe bet is the SuperCorsa's
