For full disclosure: This is for my modified VW Squareback and not the 914. Weight distribution for this car is very similar to a 911.
I'm looking to use a spare set of Boxster twist wheels that I currently have snow tires on as my permanent track wheels. They are a 17X7/8.5 staggered set. I'm looking at getting 225/45 in front and 255/40 in the rear. I'll pretty much will be using these specifically for events and not daily driving. The tires I'm currently looking at are: 1. Toyo R888 2. Toyo RA1 These seem to be very popular at auto-x events and could be used at an occasional track day. I'd be interested in thoughts on these or even other brands that are sticky and work well with these types of events. |
