The best tyres for traction (road legal)
berg:
So we know that Vredestein are great for the money and that PS3's seem to be better still and that Toyo R888 are great for the track/hot sunny weather.
The thread about the Stg 2+ ED30's with 360 bhp ish leads me to ask which are the best tyres for traction in your opinion - so cost and overall wear rate should not come into it - only their performance in the dry/wet?
Any opinions?
simonp:
Don't bother with PS3's. They're noisy and have a horrible squirrelly feel to them in the bends. Definitely NOT a performance tyre!
danishmkvgti:
Best tyre for traction is Toyo R1R
R888 grip in the dry and excellent in the rain :congrats:

Really? Very soft compound I take it? Think i used to have some of these Toyo on my old 205 Gti
I was thinking of staying away from Jap tyres on a German car but maybe not....

they are a pretty new tyre as in only the last year or so.
whats the treadwear rating on the R1Rs
