It's been two years since I tracked my GT3, and I am now looking for the "latest and greatest R-Comp track tires" for my dedicated track car.

I used to run the following:
1) MPSC "1s". Great for low track times, but only got 6 days out of them before needing to replace all 4 tires.
2) Nitto NT-01s. They were about 2 seconds slower than MPSC 1s, but I could get 10-12 track days out of them as they are multidirectional and can be "pancaked" on the wheel.

I'd like to have a "speed" set of tires (time trials) and an "economical track" set of tires (standard track days). What should I look at?

Of note, I just picked up some MPSC "2s" and ran my first track day earlier this week. Very smooth tire! How many days are you guys getting out of them prior to heat cycling or cording?

Thanks guys!

Best,

NT-01 still popular.
The ubiquitous Hoosier R7... wears faster. Goes faster.
BFG R1 or R1s

What else...?

177mph

R888r

Those are the usual choices....

I'm running Trofeo R's

Great grip and can run in the wet

I drive to track so need a DOT tire.

Still Cup 2's for me - Amazed how they are wearing better than old Cup's .

Same, Cup 2's for me. They work great in the rain and can be driven on the street.

I thought they would be gone and bought another set. Not needed yet- I'm shocked.

MPSC2 are good in the rain?

Please clarify, the original MPSC weren't good in the wet and the tread looks similar.

Thanks

If u need 18's this is the best choice.

I have to add my love of the MPSC 2's. They are wearing incredibly well and that after beating on them for a few days you can drive back home is a huge plus. I do rotate the wheels/tires side-to-side between days to ensure even wear on all the tires.

Yes. The thread doesn't look anything like the original sport cups.

I've got a set of low mile (<500 miles) MPSC2's on Fikse rims. They were heat treated at full tread depth at Tire Rack. Stored in climate controlled garage when not on vehicle. PM me if interested.

I expected 5 days like old Cups. Clean surface- no pick up- Getting twice what I expected. Completely different tire. I didn't need to buy new set yet as expected. Going back to track Sunday after 2 days with Ferrari Lime Rock. Shocked

Thanks for the feedback guys! I've got three days on the "new" MSPC 2's, and am seeing minimal, even wear. So far so good!
