Fastest Slick
Hi Chaps has anyone seen any data/links or input on what they think is the quickest Slick Tyre Marque for a Saloon Car on 17 x 9's , 860 KGS 330 BHP. Pirelli? Dunlop? New Toyo ? Hanook? Around 20 Minute Races? Cheers in Advance

Surely there are far more variables to be taken into consideration, and it may well be car specific?

The fastest slicks are the ones on the cars ahead of you ;-)

Andy I plan to have some outings with the CSCC in the Open/Slicks Race with the EVO. I do not plan to run the Sunbeam in any CSCC Special/Modified Sports Saloons Races this season as I am just planning to do the CT rounds and a few T/A Rounds Will do some of the Spec/Mod Sprts/saloons next season after a refresh and upgrades as many quicker cars have entered since 2012 :0)

When I used to work in automotive we created criteria for tyre testing - comparing different brands and tyre types i.e. stopping distance (wet or dry), lap time and even driver confidence. For a racing tyre, maybe you could have both objective and subjective measures that make more sense on track. Say like peak acceleration, per kg of axle weight, per psi, per deg surface temp, per deg camber angle! Actually ... maybe this is getting a bit to complex too quickly! |

Michelin - just to chuck that one into the mix.
I used to run on Dunlops, but since moving to Michelins it would have to be very good reason to change to anything else. |
