Our SOLO I overall series champ used Hankooks.

OK. I am STILL waiting for a spec sheet to scan but RE540 & RE550 Potenzas are available in Soft, Medium & Hard compounds, marked on the sidewall as 'Type S,M or H' I am told this equates to treadwear of 40, 60 & 80

Sizes 215 & 225/16 + 225 235 255/17



225/16 and 255/17 are control tyres & well over spec. 225 footprint 238, 255 footprints 270 but the rules take the measurement as written on the sidewall....good move Bridgestone https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

I use Nitto 555R Drag radials as daily drivers. I'm thinking about getting some BFG Comp T/A's for the track since I"ve used them before. I have NO experience with circuit/autocross/road racing tires. How about some insight on different type of tires for different types of racing? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png

Alrighty then, updating! Keep in mind all the tires in this thread are 'DOT legal', though not necessarily reccomended for street use.
