fromula ford tyres

Took the plunge and went to track day and now I have been biten by the bug!!!
First thing I have found is, I need better tyres, I have looked around and there are some great options, but on ebay you can pick up formula ford tyres fairly cheap, as they only be used for the track these would not be a problem.
A question I have is, would 185 on the front and 205 on the back be OK or what do people thing about going 205 all round?

    The 205's fit really good on 7" or wider rims, a bit bulgy on 6" wide rims so dpends on what rims your planning to use mate..but running either 185 or 205 all the way round shouldnt be a drama

    G'Day rodlea,
    I tried these tyres a few years ago and theyre fantastic was of going quicker for not much money.
    Go 205's alround with 6.5-7" rims.
     
    I tried 185's on the front and then swapped to 205's all round.

    Hi,
     
    I've got a set on eBay right now....  Currently sitting at $100
    280839736752
     
    I think the rims are Cortina's.  They fit the back ok but just rubbed on my 1600 Escort struts.
    Cheers,

    Mark
