E30 R Comp for Southeasten Tracks - Experienced E30 Track Guys

[Bglad]

You can shave ra1's and have an amazing dry tire. I know a lot of the guys are doing that right now.

I am not racing. Mostly HPDE right now and open lapping days. So I am not interested in the tire that is the most sticky for 6 heat cycles and then dump them. I want a good life that stays predictable.

PRO3 uses Toyo R888 and RA-1

E30 is finally 'done' to where I want it. I sold the M3 which was my track car. I wanted the E30 to be the new toy and that is what she is. I used Z214s on the M3 and loved them. Sizing for the E30 will be 225.45.15...

R888
RA1
NT-01

Those are all about the same price. On a full interior E30 which tires are you guys using? What kind of life? Which tire do you prefer? I have experience with RA-1. NT-01 is supposedly the same green tire as the RA-1 with new tread pattern which improves grip. If that is true lots of life can be expected!

R888 seems to have a bad rap. SpecE30 dropped it due to performance and low life complaints.

Open up the floor to a discussion...
