260DET Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Am familiar with Kumho, Bridgestone, Toyo and Yokohamas but what are the BFG g-force R1's like? Also Federals?? For the project car which will have ~350rwhp to start with, 17" wheels, ~ 8.5" F, 9.5" R. Sprint events ie 4-5 hot laps of a circuit. For the first set I'll want fairly good life and value for money, ultimate grip is not a present priority so a fairly hard compound would seem right, climate is mostly warm here too. Whats the go racers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 So noone has tried the R1's? Since found out that the Federal RS595 is a high performance road tyre, not a semi slick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 On my street car I've run RA1's and V700's for autoX, not on track. I picked the tire with the most tread depth and didn't shave them as I wanted mileage and fun. Nitto has the NT-01 too that has decent tread. If you need the last 10% and want to shave, I would just get a two grooved DOT tire. Look at the tread wear ratings, it's a good indicator of the how hard they are and how long they'll last.
