ATTN Luke@tirerack track tire/personal question
Two questions:
what tire can you recomend for a track day I had some falken azen
they were crap after 5-6 laps i was driving on a slip and slide
the track temp was 130*
i am not looking to get into michelin pilot cup sport level but something that will last 2 maybe three full track days
i was guession hoosiers?
and more importantly Is that you in the comercial?

well, the questiojn is interesting ... let's look at it from a couple of view points ...
you could go with a real good street tire so, it could double as an AutoX tire in the street tires classes and still be a decent a track day tire ... the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec would be the fastest tire in that type of classification.
or
you could go with an R-Comp that is really durable but not as fast assomething like a Hoosier ... something along the lines of the Victo Racer V700 from Kumho
or
you could go all out and get the BF Goodrich G-Force R1 which is stupid fast
what you need to consider is that the faster the tire is the less forgiving it is when you make a mistake.
IMHO the VictoRacer is a good 1st experience when it comes to a track tire
and just so you know Sport Cups last significantly longer than Hoosiers and are not nearly as fast
and no I am not in the commercial

its going to be a track day only tire no auto X three or four track days are good enough
i have tracked the Pzero nero all seasons they were icecream
i now had the falkens and they are good some of the time but not great and awful at times
so v700 not the v710
does the guy in the comercial work there or an actor?
tell them you need to be in the next one haha
