Whats the new hotness in street / track tires?
What's the new hotness in street / trackday tires?
I ran GPAs when I was doing a ton of track days and loved them. I put BT003 Race on there because I wanted to run a 180 rear and...the results were kinda mixed. Ran BT016s before that and loved them. I haven't done track days for a while, car's been sucking up all my track time. Thinking about sticking with something more street oriented. Should I just get another set of BT016s or is there something better out there? |

Worried about a ST tire on the buell as I'm rather heavy handed and have made the Angel's on there slip more than I care to mention. But with 6k, I think I would just go with Drewpy's thought and run the powers, I got 6k on the rear with good stick, front was about 50% but wearing funny (cupping bad) on every set I ran.

The R10 has replaced the 003's.
I'm no help when it comes to street stuff.

I only ran the 003s because it was the only full DOT race tire I could find in a 180 rear. Seems everyone has gone to 190 or better now. I'd rather get decent rubber in a 190 than shit rubber in a 180, though.
I just want something I can do occasional track days on that won't get burned up on the freeway. Last edited by Sean; 10-25-2012 at 10:45 PM.. |

I think it may be something like Pilot Pures or those Street legal track tires from Bridgestone. |
