Front Tyres Question

[Larryk]

Just following on from another thread here asking about tyres for burning.

What tyres are you using on the front to give you good steering?

Are track day tyres any good?

Any help appreciated ;)

Toyo R1R's seem to be the best at the mo, Pricy tho,

[colm]

Eagle F1s and Falken 452's are pretty good rubber up front too

[Steve_S15]

hankook p1 evo's are a savage tyre but pricey

[podge]

federal rsr very hard to get thou

Hmm, heard about those Falkens alright. Must have a price around and see what sort of bucks they are compared to the Toyo's.

I had R888's before all round on a track day and found them shit in the wet. Kinda looking for an all rounder if possible.

The R1R's are decent in wet and dry,

falkin 912, very cheap and pretty good grip

[Dori!]

R888 are definitely my best choice for front, even on the wet. They only struggle under BIG rain, when water keeps on the road. Otherwise, good stuff.

A tip I learned from a Belgian judge on a competition : to make the best of your front tires on DRY condition, install them reverse (on the contrary of the normal rotation). For security reason, tires are made to grip more when braking, so if you mount them reverse, you get slightly more grip ;)

sunnys .... just as cheap , and just as good grip:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Derk]

..... is that actually true ?

Yeah i've heard this too

[Dori!]

Yeah i've heard this too

Yeah it is, experienced it myself. On some tires you don't really feel a difference but on some other, definitely. Just try ;)

[Rob32]

No it isnt, thread patterns are designed to grip when rotating a certain way, i would imagine the reason why that judge imagined he was right is because under braking the front suspension compresses putting weight in the tires and improving their ncontact patch with the road
