Hey folks,
Does anyone have experience comparing these two tires? Or are they close enough that it just doesn’t matter?
Will be used:
- HPDE only at VIR and Road Atlanta; no autoX
- no winter driving
- ambient temps usually between 65-90. (did VIR once on a 97 deg weekend...ooof) I try to avoid July/early Aug
- skill level: yellow (solo) on a “green-yellow-blue-red“ scale.
- current wheels are 19x10f, 19x11r. Might go square. I’ve seen all the good discussion in the forums on that subject, so I get it.
- 4-6 events per year (2-day events)
Or, if you think I’m not looking at the right tires, I’m all ears. The advice I’ve gotten so far is that until I’m more experienced I should stay away from slicks and such so I can get more tire feedback.
I‘ve read many of the reviews on Tire Rack, but I’m always suspicious...e.g. if they complain of traction fall-off after 3 laps, does that mean they just have their tire pressures wrong? Driving skill level? And they rarely mention track temps.
Much thanks in advance! You guys rock!
