tire options for track day

Recommended Posts

I have 3 options to choose from. I can either run my current rear tires which are pretty worn down, buy new tires, or run my slicks. i have a stock rear end and the slicks are hoosier or hankook (I have both). tire size is 275/40/17

the hoosiers have no water lines in them and my hankooks have two lines. how much different will traction be with the small sidewall they have instead of a normal size slick sidewall

Reed:

 

If you have enough track experience on a road course, use a set of "R" rated tires like the Hoosier R6, Toyo R888 or Hankook (can't remember the name), but if you are fairly new to a road course, use your street tires as part of the learning process.

 

If you need R compounds, contact Eric Frisby at Frisby Tire (http://www.FrisbyRaceTire.com). He'll give you the proper advice on tire choices.
