If circuits are part of the game then disregard the UK Hillclimb compounds.
We ran the softest Avons on the rear and the not quite so soft on the front. Great fir a 63 second hill climb hot enough to cook an egg on. But at a longer sprint say at Donnington they were dead at the end.

Also not the Avon 13" slicks are heavy when compared to the 10" slicks from Dunlop and Hoosier.

I am having similar issues on compounds as I am planing on a few Hillclimbs in Germany.

I have around 80-100kg less on the Front axle then a typical a-Series which changes the pic a bit, with my 100kg sitting middle/back of the car, the weight ratio and distribution while eg braking/cornering is significantly different and so less stress for the front tyres. If with 10" a Hard compound Dunlop doesn't work, which is possible, there is nothing medium or soft available and investment is lost.
With 13" I have 175/60/13 or even 215/50/13 in all compounds available from kumho v70 semis which fits my rims and setup I have now....

I've just fitted the 165/70r10 Avon CR6ZZ`s on my 10" x 6" rims. If it`s dry on the 26th i`m taking my car around combe so will see how they compare to the A032r`s. Sidewall is much stiffer & the tread block is really rigid in comparison so it looks like the performance of the avon`s when up to temp will be stable and consistent, just hope they are a sticky compound. 

 

FYI I got them from Slovenia in the end and they worked out at £134 each delivered. Minisport sell them at £160 each + delivery

I found by random this American Racer 10" Bias-Ply Racing Tire

Anyone some experience with it?

Sounds like a good alternative to the a032 or Avon 6zz, true??

my m8 has them on his mini but he got his best times with Dunlop slicks.
