Sticky rubber
Looking for info on good sticky rubber that can be used on road and track for 17" alloys what would be ideal size 215/35/17 , 225/45/17 .
|
Eagle F1's seemed to perform well for Dave in Germany...
|
Yokohama A0 48R Federal RSR, Toyo R888 or Nankang NS2R. 215/40/17 is the usual size for a 17" wheels on a classic.

Cup2's for dry or pilot sport for all year round.
|
Ive used Oponeo aswell as Camskill for competitive pricing.
|
Anyone use hankook ventus v12 evo2 seem to be rated ( A) in the wet .

I rated The Evo 2s a really good tyre in the dry and pretty good wet performance - It's possible (I've not compared) that the Hankooks are better than the Eagles in the dry but sacrifice a bit of wet performance because f it.
Best wet tyre I've used is the Uniroyal rainsport |
I assumed you were looking for a track focused tyre that was still road legal hence my suggestions. Had the Hankooks on the Civic, never had a problem with them through the winter but scrubbed a set of fronts in 12000 miles while the rears were like new.

Those are two very different tyres Scott, I take it you are only choosing one type or are you having a winter and summer/track set?
|
What Rob said.... completely different type of tyre. One is a great road tyre for wet conditions (and probably great on a wet track too) but would fall apart on a dry trackday under heavy use.
The other is a proper trackday semi-slick, awesome dry grip but would struggle in heavy water... what are you aiming for? |
Amazingly the Yoko AD08 has an A for wet grip according to Camskill. I assumed they'd be awful.
|
Im just after something with a bit more grip weather it be on track or normal road conditions and thats where the yoko come in so no need to change wheels all the time lol

I had the ad08's on the old scoob and in the soaking wet they were very good. Anyone remember the very wet brands evening we did?
However in the damp i seemed to found them a bit tricky but probably more to do with my stiffer suspension setup. |

215/45/17 I would have thought.
|
Ive heard good things about the ad08 as an all year round tyre...still needs some heat in them to work at their best. I would go with what cj says though on previous post...however michelins are expensive
|
I didn't like the 215/45 on the classic, preferred the 215/40, personal opinion was you could really notice the side wall flex, 215/45 is new age wrx size

Personally I think Scotty (in keeping with my previous statement in PM), if your going to buy 2 sets of tyres then have a cross over dry/wet road set and a full blown track set, and also.. .don't take the tyre reviews on review sites as gospel as the numbers /results are made up largely by people running cars that are totally different weights to yours talk to people at trackdays that run a similar weight vehicle to your own, and also decide if optimal grip/lap-time or longevity are more important, base your decision around that.. ps.. for my 2c, I wouldn't fit rainsports if you like going really fast in the dry without changing wheels, as they will not be comparable with the likes of a set of PS4's or eagles in the dry, also if your at a wet trackday and it dries, the ps4/supersport/eagles will still stand up to some punishment as a dry line appears, before you want to switch to semi slicks, where as the rainsports will suffer quite badly., having said all that there is no disputing they are a great wet weather tyre. |
215/45/17 seems to be standard size cant see me getting 45 without rubbing issues just need to find someone selling a cheap 215/45/17 tyre to check .
