Looking for Track tires. - The Ford Focus Forum

**Patalrobn** · 08-18-2009, 10:42 PM

I am in search of some track tires that won't break the bank.

Would like to use these on the street every once in awhile also.

The Kumho Ecsta XS and Falken Azenis RT-615 look to be a decent tire.

I currently have Eagle F1 GS-D3.. I liked them untill they cupped to beat hell on me... I got just under 10,000 miles on them...

Thanks,
Pat

I've tracked the Hankook RS2 and really liked them. I like them better than the Azenis. The new RS3 is supposed to be stickier. There are also some more sticky tires, Dunlop star spec, Bridgestone RE11, Yokohama Advan Neova

The Kumho Ecsta XS and Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec are both good street/track tires at reasonable pricing. The Dunlops should be a little faster than the Kumhos.

I just mounted a new set of Nitto NT-05s and so far am quite impressed. I replaced my Kumho XSs with them.

Thanks for the options everybody! I'm leaning more towards the Dunlops now...
