Tyre choice
Hi, I have a v6 type r with dccd and do a lot of drag racing, it also gets pushed hard on B roads and with 450 BHP i need good grippy tyres, I'm currently on toyo t1r's but fancy a change, been looking at Yokohama ad08 and the nankang track tyres as well as a few others.
Would like people's opinions and choices please , thanks. Oh and they are 215/40/17

Do you go to smeatharpe to do your racing then?
The ns2rs in 120 compound would be my choice.

Was yours the white type r?
I might have been lucky and the gearbox may have escaped serious damage. My hub and drive shaft didn't though...

Cheers guys good feedback here, I've got the blue type r mate, glad you escaped gearbox issues, what happened to the hub and shaft? I guess sheared the splines. The toyo t1r's have been okay but just don't feel the grip now I've upped the power, maybe going a little more soon as well.
I think I will price up the ad08r and ns2r and have a think, thanks again guys.
