Best 200 treadwear tire

PsyCoe · 07-14-2019, 03:06 PM

Currently running Nitro 555 G2s and am tractionally challenged. What are some opinions on the best 200 treadwear tire from dig? Considering NT05s and the Dunlop Direzza ZII. Let me know what you all think.

I’ve never heard this question asked in my whole life.

Gunkk · 07-15-2019, 05:50 AM

Why 200? Autocross restriction?

DITTO!!!

There are not all that many top 200 rated tires out there. go to Tire Rack and look at the ratings and reviews of the top 5 and there is your answer.

LT4Greg · 07-15-2019, 01:08 PM

I knew what 200 meant but like TRZ06 said, Tire Rack has several tires listed.

This is not only in the wrong section, but almost in the wrong forum.

Rexracer · 07-15-2019, 03:44 PM

Since some are not just answering the question.

The only 2 relevant Auto-x tires today are
Bridgestone RE-71
BFG - Rival 1.5

If you are willing to give up a few 0.1's there are several other options
DZIIIs
RS4s
Falkens
etc etc

Thanks. I've been searching around, but haven't been able to find many recommendations other than the list Tire Rack did in 2013.

The only tire for autocross if you want to be competitive is the RE-71r, you are either on this tire in a 305/30R19 size or just playing around of your are on something else, END thread

Ryan Otis, the 2016 FS champion would disagree.

He still runs Rivals, and swears by them. He agrees the RE-71R is faster on the first run, but by run 2 he is faster on the Rivals, and run 3 the RE-71 was falling off. If you are generally in cooler climates I would definitely go RE-71, but if your generally in hotter areas the Rival is still competitive.

Your results from 2016 show 38 out of 39 drivers on Brigdestones RE-71r's, what does this show about Rivals?
You say he "still" runs Rivals, he wasn't running them in 2016 at Nationals per the results?
