can i have your feedback !!! which tire has better traction ? Hoosier sports car D.O.T R6, R888 ,Nitto nt01!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Non of the above...

 

thanx for the PM . i ment traction .. i change it ... so what do you think ? i remember u were using RA1 ..

 

What is the intended use for the tires? Do you mean traction in a straight line for drag racing, traction for the sideways forces in a corner, or a combination of both (running on a road course)? I have used 2 of the 3 tires you mention so I do have some opinions.

 

BF goodrich drag radials for thr rear... PERIOD...

 

thanx for the PM

 

combination of both (running on a road course) .. im more into straight line

 

888's are probably the best of the choices you mentioned if you can put up with a good bit of road noise. Nitto's not real quiet either. 888's will be the best of the 3 for rainy conditions (you probably don't have a lot of that). Don't even consider R6's for the street. Straight-line traction is very good with NT01's, even with a lot of power increase to the wheels. If you have tons of power to the ground Markski's recommendation for DR's is a good one. Just be careful to match front and rear tire diameters as closely as possible.

 

For your intended usage, my vote is for NT-01's. I havent driven on R888's yet though.


R6's will be fastest on road course though.

 

Depends also on what size rims you are running... I was all set to get some Nitto's until I found out that they weren't available for OEM 18's. I just got the R888's on today, they sure look sweet, will try them out next week, road and track..

 

yaaaa mine is 19" .. it seems so far r888 and hoosier r6 have 19" .. i havent checked the rest .
watch this u might like it . [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw2lbwPZ5x4[/media]
good luck with the r888

 

The Nitto's come in 19's I believe, not in 18's that I was after.. I'll catch the vid later, thanks.

 

Nitto NT01 not available for 19" ... i just checked

 

I think DrJitzu is running Nitto's on his GT2, hmmmm
