I'm thinking about a Hail Mary day for my old 911 at my home track -- letting go of my attachment to one-year tires and trying out something that would last a day. But I'm limited to my modest suspension settings and 9.5x11x17 wheels.

Hoosier A6s are my current thinking. But maybe there's a slick I don't know about that comes in those size. Maybe and BFG's R1-S would be quicker?

Maybe there's something else?

 

Jack, the A6 is a quicker than the R1S in my car; can't help with slicks as I won't have data 'till the spring.

 

A6's if it's cool...

 

R6 on the hot side A6 on the cool side.

 

Thanks, guys.

I'd Googled a little and found advocates for the Hankook Ventus and the Bfgoodrich R1-S. But it looks like the Hoosiers are still the king of the ring.

 

I would go for the A6......proven performer in many different platforms, especially in cool weather

 

Seems to be a concept that the A6's don't last or aren't fit for track work but then you read about guys racing them on Corvettes. I used them on the track for short duration and found them good.
Don't know if you can get the soft compound AO50 Yokohama or Hankook Z221 R spec, but they're possibly as fast as anything out there and heat up very quickly...but you may not get more than 1-3 hot laps out of them for each heatcycle. Perhaps on your car Jack as it's light. Of course the other thing to consider is how much extra body roll you'll experience with substantially grippier tyres. Found that going from a medium compound R spec onto slicks created a ton more.
Only one way to find out!

 

Hankooks faster than Hoosiers, but tough to locate

 

And tough to find in my sizes.
