@tom.
I've worked out what I'm putting on my build, with the only remaining question being what tyres to go for. Does anyone have any recommendations?
I'm probably going to be running 47x17 or 47x19 so we're looking at a huge number of skid patches so not wearing through isn't the primary concern. I'm more interested in traction, puncture resistance, etc. Lower profile tyres would probably be a good call too, as I don't think I've going to have a great deal of clearance at the front (although it remains to be seen - I'll have to see what it's like when I've picked up my wheels).
