MX5 cup tyre specs?

Post by mazzsgp »

I was wondering if anybody here knows what spec tyres do the mx5 cup cars use?

i know they are provided by the series sponsor kumho.. but does anyone know their size?

they fit the standard 17x7" rims, that much i know.

i was just wondering, doesnt that throw off the speedo slightly?

Sure, but I suppose they don't care too much when they're racing!
