There SHOULD be a Micheline, Bridgestone, and Dunlop tire reps at the TD

The only good Dunlop and Bridgestone tires are their DOT race tires. Well, the Dunlop Qualifyers are pretty good, too. You should look into those too, Ebbs. But Michelin has a good DOT race tire in the Pilot Race and an excellent street/track tire in the 2CT. The Dunlop 208GP or 209GP is suppose to be tits. I might try it next.

You should be able to save a bit of cash by buying at the track.

well if $$$ works out right... I was gonna just use my Strada's for the first track day (the orentation one) then when I got back... buy a set of take offs... (as I don't want brand new tires to sit for a year)...

but right now it's too early to know for sure if I can swing it.

take offs aren't new... they're used. :lol:
I'd say it's worth $50 IMO to get a better tire to run for the day.

I wouldn't ride race takeoffs unless you got tire warmers, it's better to just get a set of powers or some shit. Especially being noob to track dayz you might not even be able to heat up takeoffs.

most of the race take offs are like PP's or Qual's. Not true race tires.

apparently you don't get your takeoffs from the same place I look, cause they are true race compound tires not DOT.

didn't say they were new... I said I didn't want new tires to sit for the 6 months before I get back... :blah:


I don't want RACE take offs... but powers someones selling for $50 might be worth looking into... if all else fails I'll buy new set of tires... but they'll be the Road2's if not the Strada's again
