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 |

I have used both the Victoracers and the RA-1's. I like the Kumho's better. I found them to be more predictable. When pushed past the limit I could still drive on the Kumho's where the Toyos had no grip at all if they got to hot. I have also had the Toyo's get hard in the off season while the Kumho's were always good down to the cords.
