Hey what's up guys.. I was just wondering what was a good r-compound tire. This is just for weekend trips to the track for a couple runs.. Nothing serious.. Just looking to see what people have expierence with..

Thanks

Nitto NT-01's. Several Redline Time Attack guys here in Vegas run them.

^^Those are good.

But I have to ask, what kind of track? What kind of racing?

sold TONS of heat cycled kumho v710s

goodyears are really good from what i hear also

personally ran a set of v710s (almost worn out) on the j2 for 1 trip down crest road had VERY predictable tire and it worked very very very well

the toyos and avons ive heard grip well but when they start wearing a little you might as well have all season tires on

Just 1/8 and 1/4 mile drag stuff. Nothing too fancy.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll check out the Kumhos and Nittos. smile.gif

Then ignore everything posted thus far and get some drag radials.

R-comp tires usually refers to road course or autocross tires.


If you're not driving on them anywhere but the track I suggest a pair of Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial II's.

You could try some BF Goodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radials or Nitto NT05R's if you'll spend any time driving them on the street.
