So what was the conclusion last year on Toyo RR's Vs RC-1's with the nasa power bump? Or did the hoosiers still dominate.

 

Jackie recommended 275/40/18.
Which, now that I think about it, would be too tall for the Evo. Lol

 

Nice, same size I run. Speedo isn't totally off with that size.

 

18x10.5+38ish? Spacers?

 

18x10.5 +35

Enkei GTC02

 

How's the brake clearance on those? Significantly better than the RPF-1?

 

Every other wheel in the world has better brake clearance than an RPF1.

 

On a evo? No idea

 

I meant in general. Is there decent clearance between the Supra brakes and the inner barrel of the wheel?

 

I see no issues. Best photo I could find:

 

Does the tire rack article require a subscription or something? Link doesn't work and can't find it on google.

I'm still an advocate for the Kumho V730. RT660 grip levels with heat tolerance closer to an RS4. The one event (3 days) I did on them resulted in not much wear at all. They don't have the sharpest steering feedback but also don't complain about a bit of slip angle.

 

Was that on your civic or your Evo?

 

nevermind, posted this in the wrong section!

 

Agree on the steering feedback for sure, but if they have RT660 grip levels, then the CR-S has WAY more grip than the RT660. It was like night and day difference going back to CR-S from my V730's.

For the price the V730's are hard to beat for sure.

 

Civic. Will likely stick with the RC-1 on the Evo. Don't really see a good reason to bother with 200TW stuff on a dedicated track car unless it's required by rules. I'm also curious to see how the new compound works, supposedly it's a pretty moderate improvement over the old compound.

Seems I forgot the don't haha. The feedback isn't bad but there are definitely tires with better feedback. The CRS seems interesting but the limited outlet options for them is a big turn off, price isn't anything to write home about either. I like the RT660 but tire life means a lot to me, and the V730 blows it out of the water in that regard.

On the V730 I was able to do an entire 20 minute session with no cooldown laps and they didn't fall off. All 10 or so laps were within a second of each other. Definitely wasn't able to do that on the RT660 on the same car. I'll have some better A-B results this season I think between those two.
