Full Monty Member 513 Member For: 17y 6m 4d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 24/01/08 01:57 AM Share Posted 24/01/08 01:57 AM Try the Bridgestone R spec race tyres or the Yokohama race semi slicks.I have 2 sets of Bridgestones sitting in my shed waiting the next track day to try some out. I use Yokohama Advan sports every day, and have done a track day with them, I will be interested to see the difference, as the advans are regarded as being one of the best road - sport tyres available.

They are intended to be a track tyre, but are the most stickiest things on the street. Not sure how they would go if used down the strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet to use them on the track. I had them on the car for about a month. On the street they are very impressive.My father has Toyo RE888 on his TE50 for track work. He has only used them in the wet so far. He seemed very happy with them.The RT615s seem to be much harder than other semi's I've seen. Compared with the old fingernail into the rubber trick.

Dunlop DO1J are a great semi, you'll shave some decent time off your laps with these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
