I currently run Michelin Pilot Sport Rib tires on a daily basis.
I've done 2 track days with them and now would like to try something different for the track. I'm going to keep them on the daily driver wheels.
What track tire do you guys like?
What tire is the best value?

Best DOT tire are Hoosiers R6's.
Best value is very subjective. RA-1's last a long time but are not as sticky as MPSC's, which are costly but capable of approx 30 heat cycles, depending on how you drive.
If you've just done two track days, IMHO, you should stick with street tires for a while, unless your instructor feedback indicates that you need to be in the blue or white run group.

Would like a refresh of this thread...looking to switch to r compounds. Have 8 track days under my belt.
What about Nitos or Yokohamas r compounds?
Thanks!

The problem w/ many track tires is the available sizes, so my question is what wheel specs do you have and what tire sizes do you want to use?

I tried Yokohama Neova AD08's this year as I was looking for a more 'performance' orientated tyre. I was previously running Michelin Pilot Sports and the Yokohamas are definitely a step up.

Since I get no response I'll just add MO
Michelin Pilot Sport Cups, almost no street driving I get over 3000 track miles 30+ track days out of a set
they are miserable when very cold and not so good in the wet either

thanks for the numbers gentlemen.
I'll have to spring for uprights and tie rods this winter in order to get my car lower than rs height.
but I'll change the camber this week to see if I can get more days and miles out of the tires.
