Tires for the track

[ekchris139]

So I picked up a standard set of DC5 alloys yesterday. My plan is to get a dedicated track tire so I can just change wheels over instead of getting tires changed every time.

I don't want to be spending mad money so the likes of R888's, AO48 and AR-1 are out of the picture.

I have done a bit of research on tires for this but would like first hand experience. The 3 tires I have come up with are

1) AD08R
2) RE070
3) NSR2

I don't really mind wear rate as I will only be doing 3-4 track days a year. Does anyone have experience with any or all of the above and which one you would recommend.

I don't know why but in my mind RE070 has taken top stop for me going by what other people say.

Are there any other tires people recommend

Thanks in advance

Chris

AD08R, end thread.

Federal RSR. Dirt cheap and 95% as good as AD08R on track.

Splash the cash or save up for some R888R's. I can only tell you that once you have used these on a track over AD08's you will instantly know why they are better! The grip and confidence you get are night and day.

achilles 123s are good too and cheap
