Thread: Question about tires...

  1. #1

    Default Question about tires...

    I'm looking at tires for tomorrow... so I'm in a time crunch...

    Has anyone dealt with these?

    They are Hankook Ventus R-S2 in 195/50ZR-15

    I'm looking for something that would be suitable for MSR and AutoX in a street tire class.

    TC just bought a set of those. I've only run Azenis so far.

    All the fast Miata's in Tire Class run Azenis, must be a reason!

    Well Onething has them! I believe he won tire class at the SCCA last week! The next best finishing Miata also had Azenis!

    And you were up in the hunt even with your crappy PAX in CSP! We will see how you do this week since your car is a totally different animal than it was last year I have a feeling you may be experiencing a slight learning curve.

    Slight???

    I think Majik was on Ecsta MX's. I was on rock-hard Azenises, although I was at least getting some grip at Pennington. There's a definite learning curve, as I'm sure you felt even with just one ride along. It's certainly fun, and I think I'll at least stay in the hunt with decent tires. I'm hoping these will fit the bill, as I'm not really keen on any 16" Azenises until the 215/45-16 is out in September, and I'm really interested in $64 15" R-S2s.

    No, I had MXs on at pennington, Hal would have beaten me if I was in tire class by .035 seconds.
