DriverGT5 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I'm trying to decide what tires I can buy for the RX-7. Obviously, the Hoosier R3S05's are going to be the fastest, but how long will they last? If I can get 6-8 weekends out of them than the $800 is well worth the price. Yet I know the RA-1's will last a long time, and they are considerably cheaper at $500. I guess the real decider is how long the Hoosiers will last. A plus for the Hoosiers is that I can run a 245/50/15 where all other tires are only available in 225/50/15 sizes. Also, I hear the general rule of thumb is Hoosiers are about 2 seconds a lap faster.

rrrracer Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 The R6 is what you should be looking at, much better longevity than the S05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriverGT5 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Yeah, I'm a little behind the times on my Hoosier designations considering I’m still running R3S04’s and have a pair of S03’s in the garage. The R6 is what I've been looking at. Still trying to figure out how many events these will last. No websites really seem to list a practical life span.
