So I am still running these POS stock tires which are killing me at the track. Last night I went up because it was a cool night and I thought ok, I should get it now.
Now, I am seeing people trapping significantly slower than me in the 10s. Last night I had a top trap of 131.5 mph and that run had me at 11.2 something. Brutal. Appalling 60ft (high 1.9s) with a high 3000 rpm launch.
First run was 11.13 trapping at 127 and change w/ a 1.79 60ft.
Of course, clearly the track sucked balls, but these tires are doing me no favours, that's for sure. Initially when i was getting frustrated during the summer, I was going to grab a set of Toyo Proxe R888s, but then read that they're noisy and really not a great street tire. Agree? Disagree?
So I am looking for a bit of a compromise for when I do need my next set of tires. Something BETTER than these stock tires for the track, since I'd really like to see what my 131.5 mph trap should be getting me, yet still passable for street driving?
Any recommendations?
