As the old saying goes, bad publicity is still publicity.

This can be 350z too though.

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?

thx for ur advice...

Actually, stupidcar has a point. If this is a 350Z then the advice will be a bit different. If it's a BMW or a 4WD car, it'll be a bit different. And since you don't want to reveal the car we'll leave it at that and if you have nothing additional to add, I'm going to close this thread later today.

So cute..people recommending road tyres like PS3T....PSC2..
No matter how "track" or "sporty" it is, it is not a racing tyre. Period. Race cars, use semi-slicks or slicks.

Look at TTA results, Hall of Fame..fastest times are all semi-slicks.. that's race. Go there and see what the fastest guys in their class use..then you know what tire you should get lor..

This is a race tyre.

P3ST is comfort performance tyre meant for road use, however PSC2 are race tyres for track.
You probably got mixed up with PS2 which is Pilot Sports 2, where PSC2 is Pilot Sports Cup 2...

RWD goodness. If your car is gonna be on track and on the road I personally like the Federal RSR tyre. Grip in almost every kind of road condition. And doesn't melt too much after 6-7 laps Sepang on a hot afternoon.

Probably is the cheapest of extreme performance tyres you can get out there apart from Achilles 123s which won't outlast the RSR in terms of heat resistance and grip in the wet.

Good luck shopping.
