    What's the fastest track day tyre? What's the best track day semi slick tyre to use on the road and track? I take 3 very different track day tyres and put them on a BMW M2 to see which is best in the dry and wet. Video shot at MIRA and Cadwell Park.

      Maybe a budget trackday showdown with some different brands like not the internet favourites. Something like nankang ns2r, westlake sport rs, Achilles 123s, fedral rsrr along them lines now that would be interesting. Also maybe price to perfomance comparison to the big brands.

    I find it amazing how big an effect tyres can have on a sports car. If you went into a dealer and bought an M2 on one set of tyres you might not be particularly impressed with it, but be blown away by it on another set. People don't understand this enough. Keep it up, great video

    • @r129r16pfl

      100%. I bought a C63s AMG wagon. It came from the dealer with Dunlop Sportmaxx RT2's, and I thought the car was rubbish. The ride was awful, it really struggled for traction, the front end just didn't want to turn, and I ended up putting the car on consignment. I got a call from the dealer saying that the car was sold on the condition that I put new tyres on it. I went for Michelin PS4S and the car was COMPLETELY different. I'd already allocated the money to other things and couldn't keep it, but the tyres made all the difference :(

    I have tried almost every tire brand including those cheap ones, I couldn't forget how well balance and grippy a michelin tire was, how pointy a yokohama can be, and how durable a bridgestone can last. Recently I have changed a set of Giti S2 and I can assure you it is basically a cheaper version of Michelin PS4.
    It saves my wallet and satisfaction by a big margin, I hope Giti is keeping their quality without increasing its' price.
    Last but not least, I have to thank tyrereview's professional and honest review throughout the years, it is really helpful when we are looking for the better deals! Keep up the good work guys!

      Tyre Reviews I used to have to R888 in 215/45 R17 and 235/45R17 on my s2000. I just replaced them with 215/45R17 - 245/40R17 Michelin PS4S tires from the US to Belgium as they're only delivered in Europe from 17" onwards. However the rear is how much to planted and I have considerably understeer at turn in. I'm now considering replacing them with PS4 in 225/45R17 for the fronts and 235/45R17 on the rear. What do you think from your experience? I also run a gt86 on Michelin PSS in 215/45R17 and I like the oversteer behavior. So that's also what I'm checking in the S2000.

    I’d personally like to see some Porsche N rated versions of Pirelli and Michelin tested back to back. A little niche perhaps, but we’re all stuck on these N versions while under warranty!

      Tyre Reviews
      Yes, I can imagine!
      It’s essentially Pirelli vs Goodyear vs Michelin and nobody want’s to come 3rd!
      Btw, I’ve looked at Tyre Reviews site / ratings before. I’ve always been cautious of end used unqualified % scores though. (Especially after an FK452 purchase disaster)
      It’s great that you’re properly explaining your findings and reasons in these videos.
      I’m currently on P-Zero N1, which are a massive step on from N0!
      Such progress, but I doubt I’ll ever experience that ‘Eureka’ moment again, as when I first drove a 130i on a set of PS2!

    Tyre reviews, what psi did you run in each set of tires???? Because as you know a track tire like Trofeo R will respond very well in a car weighing similar to an M2 at between 28 and 33psi hot and a street tire will run 33-40psi hot. Heres the tricky part, if you've done any study at all on the r888 you will realise the sidewalls are quite soft, and this becomes worse once warm. Toyo actually recommend varying tire pressures as per the weight of the car and they are unusually high but work extremely well.
    This is what I have found, 1400-1600kg car should run 36-42psi hot. Which takes about 2 laps off the life until they overheat and you need a cooldown lap, however the grip for the 5 laps before that are unreal.
    Many track days ive heard people complain about their r888's and EVERY single one of them are running close to 30psi hot. I instantly facepalm and offer a suggestion, we pump them up and send them back out. A bmw z4 improved his time by 6 seconds, an r35 gtr by 3 seconds, and a Supra by 5 seconds on a 1min 40 lap circuit.
    As soon as my car drops below 36psi you can safely knock 1.5 seconds off my lap time.
    Nobody runs an r compound semi slick that high, but with r888 you need to, and its a big improvement.
    I have turned people from hating the tire to now saying its the only thing they will run.
    Im assuming you ran them too low, because anyone who says the toyo is noisy is obviously running them below 36psi. Its actually quieter than the trofeo R if you run the pressures correctly, tho i am still faster by 0.15 of a second on the trofeo r, having about 60 laps under my belt with the trofeo r and well over 100 with the r888.

    • @tyrereviews
      @tyrereviews  5 років тому +12

      Great information, thank you. In the interests of keeping things fair, we ran all three tyres at the same pressure, which I think was 35psi hot.

    • @ezra5485
      @ezra5485 5 років тому +25

    I was lucky enough I experience the trofeo R at snetterton this week. They’d been freshly installed on a GT3 RS.
    Previous experience was on cup 2.
    Very impressed, better grip than standard cup2 and stayed on boil for a long time at high speeds and some hard braking. They were even quite good from cold (18 degree ambient).
    Wouldn’t want to use them in any kind of wet though!

      Can´t wait! Fitting my new MPS4 tires in a few days. Should be a decent upgrade from the, in my opinion, the already awesome Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires that´s currently on my touring car. 2011 production tires. Bought them back in 2013. Can´t believe they´ve lasted for so long. And I drive a lot. I especially like their grip during rainy weather. They´re very, very good for wet driving. I´ve actully pushed them quite far on the wet as well as higher speeds on the dry. Now, the MPS4 tires should be good for going fast around bends in both wet and dry. I look forward to trying them out a great deal! Now, bring on the video of the showdown!! :)

    Late to the party here, but having run R888s and assorted 200tw rubber (Old Dunlop Z1s, Nitto NT05, and currently Falken RT615K+) I always felt like they were close to the same in one-lap absolute pace. The Toyos put up with heat a little better in longer driving sessions, but sacrifice a lot of road comfort to do so (which is whatever because that's not what they're made for).

    I had the Federal 595RSR and it was a great compromise occasional track day tyre on my every day car (tuned Mazda 3MPS which was terrible on my factory tyres on the track) - very good wear and wet performance was great. Front end grip was excellent and I could really push the front wheel drive as much as I dared without just understeering under power. Puncture resistance not so great but I would think its good value for the perfomance.

    I'd love to see the Yokohama AD08R in a test. It'd be interesting to compare it against the top UHP tyre, the GTR3 in this video & full track day semi slicks.
    I understand the AD08R & the GTR3 to sit in the middle of UHP & track tyres so it'd be good to see if they're worth the extra money.
    I currently drive an FN2 Type R on PS4's & they're a great tyre, but do overheat on track. It'd be good to see how tyres compare in that aspect too.

    Help me out Jonathan, i'm trying to select track day tyres for my mk2 Focus RS (420bhp FWD). While i would love something like a Trofeo R, my better half would kill me if i go out and put a grand on tyres i only use for track driving lol. I used to run Conti SportContact 6's, but found out they don't hold up to proper track driving for long. Nankang NS2R? Federal RSRR? Yokohama AD08R? Toyo R888R? Size is also one thing i am wondering about. The RS runs a 235/35/19 as standard, but i thought about dropping down to a 18 on the track tyres, but would you go with a 235 or 225? Quite hard to find 235 18's apparently.

    • @tyrereviews
      @tyrereviews  5 років тому

      225/40 R18 is the matching swap from 19". I'd give the Nankang AR1 ago if you want ultimate pace on a budget, otherwise any of the others you mention would work.
      Don't use the Contis on track, they like to melt.
      I'm actually running the Gitis on my M3 daily at the moment and am still impressed considering how well they did on track.

    Thank you for a great video, as always. It would be good to mention what alignment the tyres were tested with. Assuming it was stock on the BMW, with zero camber in the front, no surprise you couldn’t get confidence with R888s. Due to tyre construction R888 likes significant negative camber, at least -2.5 or more. And that’s what most serious track guys would run anyways. Trofeo Rs are frequently fitted on super cars, which tend to have have zero camber due to their intended regular road use. With a serious track set-up of a more common track car, most people (think old Bimmer owners) would probably be able to get much closer results between R888 and the Pirellis, at half the cost. Would be really interesting if you make a test on a track-ready car with front camber alignment.

    • @tyrereviews
      @tyrereviews  5 років тому +3

      It's a good point, but sadly in the scope of this sort of test customising the cars setup for each tyre is impossible, so we usually run stock for fairness, as that's how a lot of people will run.
      I plan to make another video where we go into setup adjustment etc, it will be complicated to make though so won't be for a while
