I've got links to quite a few competition tire manufacturers so I thought I would post them.



CAUTION!: Most of these tires may not be used for street use! They are legal when new, but not recommended!



Some don't have sizes to fit all our cars, but here they are anyway:

I am using the Hoosier A3S03's and have a set of the Vivtoracer V700's too on another set of rims. The difference in traction from one to the other is noticable in favor of the Hossiers.

i need a tire sponsor they are too goddamn expensive for me since i like doing burnouts

TYSON

I need one too! No burnouts here though.



Yokohama gives away a set of A032R's every SOLO I weekend here. People that use Yokohamas that weekend get entered in a draw. In 7 weekends they only averaged 7 people that made both events on Yok's, so my chances are good if I get a set at the start of the year.

Et streets are very good. Stick like glue.

No Brigestone RE540S or 555S Potenzas in the States?

Rubber Of Choice for racers here (When not using Durex ) for 'treaded' regs

TYSON

I can't find anything softer than a 140 treadwear from Bridgestone here. I think they used to bring one, but can't find any info. Post some!!!

I'll get a spec sheet. Control tyre for street car class (circuit) here. I have 540's on the Cosmo, but cant remember the treadwear figure . I am pretty sure they are softer than Proxes RA1s.

They are also very over spec in certain sizes. The 225/50/16 I use for example footprints wider than the 235/45/17.



The mates & I have tried R-Comps in Proxes (RA1), Yokahama (032R & 008R), Dunlop and Bridgestone on our cars. (Silvia, 180SX, Rx3, Rx4, Mk2 Turbo Escort, Cosmo sedan) Most of us are on Brigestones now! The Bridgie suits my Cosmo well, the sidewall is FAR stiffer than ANY other R-comp available here. We have used 520's & 540's. Mate has a set of 555's on his Rx4 coop in 255/40/17. They havn't rolled yet we are still doing the race-restoration/rebuild on it but they should be good! Getting a wheel tyre combo that big on a old car without it looking dumb and having no lock was fun, but the grip level should pop the eyes out

I am thinking of getting a set of those Hankooks if they are cheap. Victoracers used to be cheap when they were first out. They were trying to prove they were good.



I want to get a really cheap rim/tire setup for my Mini. This might be the tire.
