Hey everyone,
Still early in my build but planning ahead for track/autocross tire selection for my RCR40.
Currently have Toyo R1R's on the car mounted to 17" Halibrands.
The rear's currently are 275's but are definitely a touch too narrow for the wheels. I want to move to 315's.
225's fit perfect on the front.
Looking at the current market, I really settled on the NT05s from Nitto but when I went to order them they said they can't get them anywhere because they are discontinued.. darnit!!! NT05 was perfectly placed in-between the 100 treadwear line of tires (like R888R) and a road high performance tire (NT555 G2 320 treadwear).
At this point I may go with the R888R as it is my only option for 315s in stock at discount tire... The soft R compound worries me a bit for driving casually to work here and there / car shows but that is far from "daily driving" so I think it will be fine.
Any other thoughts from other GT40 owners out there that do some spirited driving on 17" wheels???
