Hi,
Im in Herefordshire, I think i'd rather acb10's. Are the acb9 more for the historic series? What sizes are they and how much are you looking for them? Thankyou, Mark. |

My fault should have asked if you were running in the modern FF or classic/historic class. The acb9 is common in the classic series i think the modern use acb10 as the controlled tyre.

Yes ACB 10s are the tyre used in FFKent racing. ACB 9s are used in Historics I dunno where you can or have to use them. They look like the old Dunlops which were a different profile to ACB 10s and the gearing needed changed to use them. I'm not too sure if the ACB 9 profile/aspect ratio is different to the ACB10.

check out the classic formula ford club website, they have a gear ratio chart that has done all the hard work for you and shows or suggests the different ratios to suit whichever tyre you use.

I have 6 ACB 10's that have been stored in the dark for a few years and seem fresh but I wouldn't race with them. Good for slogging around. £50 01920 871153.

I have some sets of ACB 10's from the WHT from my 2 sons. Pretty much as new 10 laps old in the damp. (8 laps of race 1 and 2 laps in heat
 ) Bit too good for random testing though, but having said that no point in testing on worn out tyres as you will think car is horrible!. |
