Hi All,
Having exceeded the handling limits of the Pirelli PZero Nero all-season tires that came with my previously-enjoyed RA at the time of purchase, I am looking for something sticker for summer street and occasional track day use.
In the past I had a car with a separate set of R-compound tires for track days, but I'd like to avoid that with the RA. I realize this will mean a compromise in performance to have a mixed-use tire. Fortunately my mileage is low and I don't drive the RA every day, so a relatively low wear rating wouldn't be an issue.
Way back in the day, before I used R-compounds on my old car, the Yokohama AVS Sport was a great street/track day tire. Unfortunately it was discontinued years ago.
I have read good reviews for the Conti Extreme contact DW and Michelin Pilot Super Sport. Any thoughts on those or any other suitable rubber?
Thanks.
