Cheapest track tyres

[cliff7110]

Hi guys. Have done a search but not really found much.
I have a 172 track car that we've done a few days in since building it. They have been done on the standard 16s with road tyres.
Really wanting to get some better tyres on as its all over the place.
Funds are a little limited ATM with buying a house so need to keep the costs down.
Have bought some 15 inch wheels so tyres will be a bit cheaper.
Have been looking at the federal 595 rsr and the toyo r1r which come in a Little cheaper at 216 quid.
Has anyone got any recommendations to which is the better tyre?
Cheers

Should be plenty of info on here mate, but I like the Federal RSR for the price of them

Will probably be trying the Nankang equivalent aswel next when I need some, the NS2R

Any of those will see you right

I got a pair of 16" t1rs from JJC for 90 quid so you could probably do the 4 corners for 160 I would imagine. Walls are supposedly a wee bit soft for track but I will find out next Sat

T1r's like most road tyres are fine for having a good blast at a track but if it's gets and hot and stick and you start to get involved in trying to tail something faster you will pull the tyre on to it's sidewall. Especially if your out for more than 15mins and they get really warm. This time of year if it stays cool it's less of a problem as the grip levels are less.
