New tyres soon, choices?
Okay,
so i am waiting on my 16x7's to be returned from the powder coater next week and in the meantime i am trying to decide what would be the best tyre to wrap the wheels in.
I would be searching the tyres thread, but whilst the Clubitr's ability to redirect linked threads is down, the index thread has become useless.
So Factors to consider when choosing tyres:
- I have no license until november, so the car will see no daily driving until then. But i want the tyre to be able to be dual purpose so i only have to think about one tyre purchase post november
- I hope to make 2-3 wake field track days in this time frame, hopefully a SOTS say, Circuit Club day and maybe squeeze into the honda nationals
- I have never ventured onto a track before and will be a novice for quite some time
- Money is a considerable issue, but the more the tyres are a investment, the less of a issue money becomes
- Looking for Tread: 205-225 Profile: 45 Rim: 16
Tyres (please comment on choices):
choice 1. Advan neova AD08
Reviews on the tyre seem quite consistently praiseful, mind you they have all been on the advan site. The product is described as being a tyre which multi-tasks heat regulation, being able to generate enough heat for finding grip during daily driving but also sustaining such heat for track use. Also has steel inserts in sidewalls for good turning response.
Prices quoted...
Bob jane has quoted me $300 a tyre
Car needs, tyre's and more Liechardt has quoted me $279 a tyre
Choice 2. Bridgestone Adredalin RE002
Don't know too much about this tyre except that it tickles my fancy because i have read that many have used the RE001 for track days and found quite substantial use and performance out of such, thus i cna only imagine its successor (RE002) will be better. It's also is significantly cheaper than the advan.
Prices advertised:
190 - 210
Concluding questions:
Does anyone have experience with either of these tires or better, both?
If so, does the advan justify the extra 100 per tyre?
Does anyone have any recommendations of other tyres?
Cheers in advance,
Louis
