These are the good old days!  Group: Members Posts: 2,004 Joined: 29-December 02 From: Sunny So. Cal. Member No.: 37  |
I'm looking to buy a second set of track tires. I'm using Hoosier R3SO3's and am considering trying the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Competition Radials. Has anyone tried them on the track? How do they compare to the Hoosier's?

I have also been thinking about trying them, maybe on my 15's (if 205/50's are available) when my Kumhos give up the ghost.
Have read the same reports about "similar" (not quite equal) performance to Hoosiers but much, much longer life. Makes the ~$30/tire extra cost seem worthwhile. Anybody know how their weight compares to the Hoosiers though? That is clearly one reason the Hoosiers work so well. (No steel belts). Kumhos are heavy suckers. Hey...nobody warned me beforehand that this track driving shit would result in having $3K in wheels/tires piled in the garage. But I guess we have it "easy" compared to the real widebody guys with their 18x12 wheels rubber. |
