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

whats your budget is main thing,

 

R888 are the !Removed! i find personally 

Ad08r's are good, and drop your tyre pressure. You do not want them getting over 30 psi once they've heated up

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 

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

Iv been a passenger in a clio running RSR's and they are VERY good 

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.

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

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.
