Full of Days Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I understand I am very limited on what track tyres I can run on a 20x10.5 wheel on all four corners but I'd like to know what options are out there. I'm running a 275/35/20 F and 295/40/20 R right now in the Nitto Invo which is more summer street than track and would like to step up to a stickier compound that doesnt get super greasy. Thanks!

ReaperX Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 The only thing I could find in my quick search of the internets was Toyo R888's. They're a DOT-R Compound w/ a 100 Treadwear Rating in 285 that would fit you rim. Not much of a DD tire. My suggestion is get an extra set of smaller wheels, 19" = more options, 18" = tons of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerkat Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I ran the Nitto R2 for a long time good tire. Just for you information you will become a better driver in the long run if you learn to drive on a street tire. Sticky tires hide mistakes so you think you are a better drive than you really are.

Full of Days Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions. I hear the R888's are great but dont have many heat cycles in them... I might give the R2's a go for my next set. I'm not interested in jumping into an R compound as these tyres are more than sufficient for my skill level at the present.

beerkat Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 . I'm running a 275/35/20 F and 295/40/20 R . You might want to think about a set of track wheels a size that has more options in tire choice. Also might be a less expensive in the long run. I would think something in a 18" wheel might work better than the 20". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full of Days Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 I heard that bridgestone was releasing a potenza in 20 inch diameter that would be a decent track day tire. I'm not sure if its an RE-11 or what though... anyone in the know regarding the b'stones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
