Track tire Recommendation - R888R vs RE71R

ban25 · 12-18-2016, 11:15 PM

In terms of DOT legal tires, most rank them as follows:

1. Bridgestone RE-71R
2. Maxxis RC-1
3. Nitto NT01

They're all very close, but you might see a good second difference in lap time between the RE-71R and the NT01.

Interesting... I was leaning towards the RE71R, ban. Unless one of those two tires goes on sale for a much cheaper price that's probably the direction I'll go.
