Tracking Base Wheels... Tire Choices

osbornsm · 03-11-2014, 02:06 PM

Inexpensive Summer tires in my desired size:
- Sumitomo HTR Z III = $600
- BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2 = $660
- Dunlop Direzza DZ102 = $750
- Hankook Ventus V12 = $800

Any thoughts on the above?

HTR over v12 any day. Cheaper and better performer. Not sure about the other 2. The HTR is a good summer but that's it. Its not a track, autox or drag tire so the other 2 might be better.

IF you are only looking for street tires, these will be fine. But I agree with Chuck, these are not appropriate for anything more than say maybe your first couple of track days. You will ruin them quickly. Even a Bridgestone re760 would be better than these. I run them for street and have been out on track with them once. They are surprisingly good on the track. But I would not want to keep pushing them.
