    Default Track day tires?

    Star Specs or NT01s?

    For SCCA E stock legal '94 Miata.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    your asking 100tw vs 200tw, how long do you want your tires to last. you can get a NT01 ins 225/45/15, star spec is max of 205/50/15 (at lest on tire rack)

    I vote Star Specs, but that's only because I hope to (eventually) run E Stock (periodically) on those tires myself.

    Seems like the NT01's would be a good compromise for you, since they wear better than R-comps, but will be stickier than SCCA-legal "street" tires. Also well-priced.

    What about the Kuhmo XS or Hankook RS3?

    The RS3 is the new hotness in STR if you can run a wide enough wheel and, more importantly, actually find some to purchase.

    I thought YOU were the new hotness in STR??

    Man the only time I'm driving right now is to work. Feast or famine is the name of the game and right now it's time to fatten up before the famine (holidays -- remember no work, no pay, so vacations hurt 2x).
