we've tried mpsc 315's no longer available in our sizes,next is the toyo triple 8's,than the daddies.
i heard some speak about the the nitto's has anybody tried these and are they available in 997 gt3 sizing.
at vir next mouth I'll run the hoosiers than in april at pocono north i don't want to spend hoosier money to run on that pos track so i was going to get a set of toyo triple 8's to run their, or try a set of nitto's if i can get some positive feedback on them

Check with the tire suppliers to the race teams for cheap tires.
They always have used R compound tires, I found that the Hoosiers the teams are throwing away have about the same grip as decent (Maybe not when in their prime.) Toyo's or Nitto's. A couple of hunders is better than $1500.00 per set for me.
Some used Hoosiers are faster than others, and some are a bit slower than the Toyo's etc when in their prime, but once they go off you get slower also.
With Hoosiers the production date is on the tires and most teams mark the tire with how many heat cycles they have.

I've used the triple8's last year and they worked very well.maybe I'll try a set of nittos what type the- nto1's? 245/315's i don't see a 255 listed in the nittos. in the toyo's i ran 255/315/18
