Best tyre for racing?

[^pomen_GTR^]

driving cheap tyre in track can made a whole lot of fun u know..its not always being fastest..but enjoy the limit of your tyre......especially in trackday when doesnt really matter who finish first

I don’t think this tyre is suitable for Malaysia, where to go for racing? What for buy such good tyre and we hardly got chance to use it. Malaysia traffic jam here and there, how to speed? To me, normal tyre would do , don’t need to pay so much money to get high end tyre.

Parada Spec2 cheap and cheerful....

there are hidden driving road all over malaysia.from highway with long winding corner to
twisty road on hill side.not forgetting some empty road leading to small vilage.
i know there are some guys driving civics makes is a compulsory journey to kuala pilah town to enjoy the road.
they could be from as close as seremban but doubt so as none can speak negeri dialect.

i wont go all out but something like pilot sport will do just fine.
if i can afford it, i will kept and extra set of semi slick for track purpose.
but i doubt so as i am not a track kaki...more of a street guy.

Yah! know what you mean. I use to like my Blue Streak Stiletto tyres where I can slide my VR, after change to GY Asy2 very hard to slide them....

Can, got people use ATR Sports for track also.....

Yea, me ok la. Somemore damn wide road, probably 60 is my 'whacking'

i recommend you use PSC2 as it is high end performance tyre
and it can be used for street usage...
but i think it is depends on personal preference...hehe

 

[titipoh]

What size, what setup, what car and so on. Budget too.....

Driver skill leh? If driver is a complete noob then get the grippiest tyre your budget can afford. If you're Ivan/Ian Khong or Kenneth Koh or Karamjit Singh, then even Silverstone tyres will get you podium finish.

im still new to this :)

actually its safer....

because the grip limit was so low...

the tyre starts sliding around at lowest and safer speed than those racing compound tyre....


so TS can start learn how to control the car at the safe tyre limit.......


after that switch to sticky slicks and see how much faster and safer he/she was...



*ppl said i'm the original bunta

does this mean grip is important?

I'm new to this so in process collecting opinions...pilot sport sounds good..any recommendation?

I think you need to first state what type of car, what size of tyre, and what sort of race.

Yes, Michelin PSC2 have this size. List price is RM1790 from Michelin website.
Said to be much better then older PSC.....

 

[matthewctj]

Indeed, the vehicle and what sort of race is an important criteria when suggesting tires. And racing? Means non-street legal tires like semi slicks? Or are you actually just asking about the best street tires?

i rather suggest join trackdays/gymkhana or any training using stock tyre first....fully utilize the stock tyre capability....and see if your laptime improves until can't be improved further...then only do upgrades...but safety aspect such as better brakes and better suspension should be done first.......


what car u driving? what kind of race u plan to join?

 

[Izso]

245/35/19 sounds like BMW 5-series range of tyres already.

 

[catwang90]

saw this tyre before d, the tread design of this tyre is new which is 20% more deeper ler. and this PSC2 is more effecient with water dissipation. anyway, guys if u are interested can check out here for more info: Michelin Pilot Sport 3 Technology. Pilot 3 Performance Tyre from Michelin - Michelin Malaysia

Actually for normal street usage, not necessary use this high end tyre, u can get cheaper tyre if u don’t expect much. I am currently using Michelin P3ST, which is very good too.
