After driving on Toyo RA1's, Hoosier A6 & A7's+ R6's, RE71's, BFG Rival 1.5's, Yoko Slicks, Yoko 008's, I've settled with the BFG R1's.
If your suspension and camber are setup these tires rock! Last almost as long as a RE71R but faster...

And, from your fitment tests, do you think a 305/30/19 would clear the suspension and fender on the 10.5” rear wheel with the right offset? Last edited by ZM2; 02-12-2018 at 01:57 PM.. |

305's should fit without issue but the 295's fit perfectly. Quote:
We added the rear wing for extra downforce and it decreased our lap times by over a second. Our driver Cameron noted that the car was less prone to oversteer and speed differences in some areas were nearly 10MPH faster. I updated the original post with the info |

Did you install the wing at the track after the first couple of sessions? Did you measure track temp or anything to help reduce the number of variables? Meaning - could the track have simply warmed up from morning sessions and that contributed to the 1 second gained that was attributed to the wing...? Last edited by lax01; 02-12-2018 at 04:22 PM.. |

For instance, I'm lowered 3/4" in the rear, 1/2" in the front. Do you think your wheel/tire setup would rub on track under compression? |

Nice. R888R are garbage though no? Certainly can do much better with good tires.
Simon@RENNSpec ran 1:55s with only jrz, upgraded rotors, and yoko a052 at 3360 pounds (seats plus oe half cage, 6MT). 1:59.1 on oem 280 tw tires. Shows the car is tons capable.

I have used many of the same tires!! from that group above , I have not used RE-71R or Yoko slicks. I have in addition used Maxxis rc-1 (R tire) Continental R tires, Hankook RS-3 (the top dawg Autocross tire prior to the RE-71R) and also I agree on the BFG R1 as being the best of all tires I have driven on track. The RE-71 is the fastest tire out there but for track use it is still a compromise. I've run sessions with a friend that is my equal on track. After 15-20 minutes i begin to pull away on even MAXXIS RC-1 .. ( a very slow R tire ) versus him on the RE-71 as we get toward the end of the session. The re-71 and the yoko advan AD008 are both great Street tires that will not heat up and blister or chunk on track ... but a good R tire is the best option for extended sessions. The BFG R1 last a long time , don't break the bank New like Hoosier , are very easy to run and not overheat, and are extremely consistent. |
