Flatinfourboxer Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Hi everybody! I am thinking of doing some track day events, do you have any advice or tricks for track day tires ? Thanks for you answer James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoganS Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Ad08r's are good, and drop your tyre pressure. You do not want them getting over 30 psi once they've heated up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raceface_13 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I was in the sameboat as you recently. I ended up going for some Bridgestone RE070. Purely because they were designed for the impreza and they are a good allround performance tyre. So i can drive to a trackday and drive home onthem. Iv used ad08's round the nurburgring and they are phenomenal as a pure track tyre. Iv heard people rave about the NS2R's but im not afan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJP02 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 What about "Federal 595 RS-R" they look good and are a reasonable price from most places like Camskill. Thinking of getting a set for myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raceface_13 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Iv been a passenger in a clio running RSR's and they are VERY good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatinfourboxer Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 I have heard good opinion on toyo R888 mainly because one of my mate is running them on an exige. The car felt totally planted. Budget wise I don't want to go over over the top as it will be my first track day events. I need build up experience first :D The subaru is also my everyday car so would you recommend running high performance tyre for road and track or have a second set of tyres for the track ? @Raceface_13 How does the Bridgestone feel on track ? I think they could be a good choice but with winter coming in a few months they might get slippery on the wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raceface_13 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 They were designed for a race series for the impreza in japan so they feel right at home on the track. They arnt to bad in the wet. Not tryed them in ice/snow yet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Smith Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Federal 595's are very soft compound and lethal in the wet. I had a set on my 172 Clio and they really weren't good. R888-R's are meant to be good for track use and on the road. They replaced the R1-R's. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
