Pirelli RX5 Vs RX7

Hi guys!

I have a good option to sell/trade my current Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 tires and go for
Pirelli Pzero RX5 (hard) or RX7 (med.) ones. It's mostly street with some (10% ?) track driving. Should I go hard of medium compound? I'm a bit lost here

Thanks in advice!

Anton

Hello

That Pirelli Pzero RX5 or RX7 is strictly an off road tire that will certainly not last in street driving

Your Pilots are already an aggressive street summer tire. The downside to these tires, is they are very expensive.

I would be more interested in a: Nitto NT05 summer /track tire (just a bit harder compound & much less expensive)
