The best performance road tyres???
- Thread starter The Seer
- Start date
172 Race Car
what are these like compared to the pe2's? Im trying to decide what to get also
What you using them for? The track car?
yep - don't think you're going to find one that's better than all others in every area.
just out of interest, EVO ran a tyre test recently and rated the Eagle Assymetric top although i've not been able to find them listed in 16" - ?
IIRC the Verdestein was second, then the Contisport 3. if you believe the blurb they'll all feel slightly different in different conditions. you'd probably have to be a tyre tester to be able to tell much difference though..
also - is your choice for the road only or with the occasional track day (?) as some tyres will be fine on road but won't cope well with track days.

888's but only if its dry
They don't work unless the heat in the tyres is kept consistently at the required temperature to offer optimum performance.
Waste of time.

No track days intended so far. Road use really. F1's or the Vredestein's Sennata's ? Both are above the rest?

Just the Ulltrack's so far?

I swear by F1's, tried a few others but always ended up back to F1's
i find ContiSport Contacts VERY under rated however, i was very impressed by them, especially in the wet!

i find the F1s are very progressive when letting go.
conti's give you plenty of squeel to let you know your pushing hard hehe

The f1's are just seemingly always sticker hence the lower mpg the contis seeminly sticked when you wanted them to ok so they wore out quick but the F1's arn't any better. Then again 10k from a set of fronts is my limit.
Grip on the continetal at break away point is easier to manage I find the F1's arn't anyway near as good.
Conti original are out of productio the continetial premium contact 2's are the new ones and not as good for track work as they just melt the tread paterns sidewarys I should have taken pics but they litrally tilted over on track when warm as there thinner than the original ones.
Contis also sound better for me they squeek like heck on the limit.

Sidewalls aren't stiff enough then?
I hear these Vredestine Sennsata's have a real firm sidewall. Perhaps better than than the Continental's and the Goodyear's?
The contis have week side walls which is one of there great things IMO gives a nice smooth ride ok so when your on track they cna wear on the side walls near enough but that can be fixed with camber chnages/pressures etc.
Sportrac 2's and Ultrac's so far
