Best tyres for grip for high HP

<< < (2/2)

FatWelshBoy:
Unless going semi slick I think you'll struggle with any tyre, my PS5 were great at stage 1 but at 2+ they spin up for fun.

Clarkj93:
Would probably agree with the above! Ns2r's are a good road based semi slick so they work well from cold but work best after a little bit of driving or 1 lap or so of a circuit.

Consider playing with tyre pressures too/instead but use an accurate tyre pressure gauge not just the tyre inflator which are usually massively inaccurate. Somewhere between 30-34 cold is probably going to be the sweet spot.

breeze:
Have you got an anti-lift kit fitted? Probably more important than the difference between good and great tyres.

Edit: LSD/Quaife type diff also great but significantly more expensive. For the most part I think you need to adapt your driving style with a powerful FWD car.

Yep. Tyres are for grip. 4WD, LSDs and TC are for traction.
