So I'm looking at stickier tyres as after the Optima event last year my interest has grown and I'm hoping for some hill cilmbs and tarmac sprints to be in my future.

 

200 Treadware seems to be a suitable number for a good compromise, I don't do high kms so I can sacrifice some wear.

 

Anyone have any experience with the Falken Azenis RT615K+ or Bridgestone RE71RS?

Both seem like they would work for me, Bridgestones are more expensive but might be a better all rounder.

Sorry mate, we only run 205/60/13.
Cheapest - Nankang AR1
Middle - Yoky Advan
Dearest - Khumo Victoracer

Tbh... they are pretty similar. Dearer ones dont go mushy after 7 laps...but of course, how long is a lap?

Thanks Col,

 

I think the AR1 is too much a race tyre for what I want, I know it has a good reputation but its predominantly a street car.

Type of events I will do probably won't go to 7 laps 

I have some street Advans now but they are 12 years old so I think  its time to refresh,

All good.
It's always a compromise with track/ road cars.
Can you have a set of roadies and another set of track wheels & tyres?

Possible, not a budget conscious option.
