Anyone run Goodyear supercar 3 or 3R?
I hear good reviews

Tons of great reviews. Only downside is limited tire sizes.

They’ll be my next tire for sure.

Agreed but similar to BFG R1, no?

I have never run BFG’s so can’t comment.

I ran the fz201m last season. Soft shoulders, quick to heat up, not as loud in terms of feedback. Rec pressure 32f/29r cold. I’m running -2.7f/-1.9r. They wear pretty good. About 12 heat cycles on them and plenty of grip/tread left.

I'll give those pressures a try on my fz201m's next time I'm on track.

I really want to try Falken RT660's in 275/40/17 square for auto-x.

I ran some of my fastest lap times with z214’s. More of a competitor to Hoosier A7’s/R7’s then to NT01’s.

I ran NT01s for years and was convinced by my buddies to try Hankook Z214s. Nowhere near the longevity of the NT01s but great grip. Take a bit to come up to temp. They were difficult to find for a while but they’re now the spec tire for SPC and Hankook Motorsports carries them for about $1k 8n 275/35/18 squared.

Anyone try the R2 version of the Maxxis RC1s?

I would not consider that a HC. I DD'd Re71r for 9 months. If each trip was a HC, I got more than 600 HC's by my count.

That’s what I thought but thought I’d confirm with people smarter than I am! Thanks man!

For those who drive their track tires on the street to the track, do you could that trip to the track as a heat cycle?

I’m in the in between state where I’m not willing to tow the car yet but I still want to get smarter of how my tires are wearing.

has anyone tried the federal fz201? I have run NT-01's for about 6 seasons now but the price of the federal is really attractive. any experience with either the S or the M?

Was just poking around on Phil's Tire and they have 275 BFG R1's in stock.

Awesome, I'll try to give them a call today

For those in Norcal, if interested in a052, this dude posted on FB track addicts group some really good prices. He is in Fremont, quoted me a set of 265 35 18 pickup cash price less than $1k. Compared to Tirerack if you go through checkout, with taxes and state fees (and free shipping) it would be about $1246.

I don't know him, I've never dealt with him, just thought I'd pass along. He said he can get any size delivered within about week.

Nankang CR-1 is coming out this winter, looking forward to seeing how those fare against the RS4 I currently run. If they're good I may get them after my RS4s wear out
