Default Ne thoughts of new BF goodrich r-compound tire?

Read it up on grassroots magazine(great mag by the way) and performed better then Hoosier R6/Nitto? Grassroots also report it has auditory feedback once it reaches its limit and limits are high? Mike

Yeah, a month or so ago I picked up a set of Sport Cups for that reason. I personally dont need more stick in the front (245) & less stick in the rear (285).

If u are aware not all tire manufacturer's with same tire sizes ie 245/275 etc may have different dimensions. Take for example for my GTI toyo rai's 215 is way samller then 195 hoosier. Mike

245/285 Kumho V710 work great, but would it be better if they were a 305/18, I would think yes.
I also have the Moton DA so I can dial in the balance as I wish.
