As far as a/x, I'm staying with the Hoosier A3S05's (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
I actually got a sponsor. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) For DE/TT's I'll run a seperate tire altogether. It's down to: Kumho 700 Victoracer tw50 $153 ea. Toyo Proxes RA-1 tw100 $160 ea. Yokohama A032R ( hard compound ) tw60 $149 ea. All three are OK in the wet ( treaded ) and will be acceptable as low milage street tires. They should all last for about 10-12 track days. I'd love to hear from clubbers who have run any of these tires and your impression/advice. KT |

the yokos rock on heavy cars. put them on a 944 turbo S and they were superior to the kumho's for that...
BUT..... for a light car like the 914 it is the opposite (in my opinion) they suck on the 914. I couldn't get them to work for crap for years.... finally when I added a locked diff and ran my car with much higher tire temps due to sliding constantly they worked the best they ever had on a teener... my belief is that the teener and other light cars don't create enough heat for the yoko's... kumhos are very good on a teener. I hear the toyo's are also, but have only ran the other two and can't say $.02 |
