Fast road / track day tyres - 13” ALTERNATIVES

Recommended Posts

so if the Avon zzs / zzr are no longer going to be available, and soon disappear from stock at suppliers. What’s the next “go to” tyre for fast road, trackday use?

personally I’m looking more at a road legal track focused tyre suitable for 13x6 & 13x8 wheels. Currently using a rather old set of ZZS, and was going to replace with some ZZR. 

I’m wondering if it’s worthwhile trying something new or grab some ZZR whilst I can, or try something new ????? 
 

so…. alternative options, we have the usual suspects: R888s / A048R etc

What else is available in the sizes we need?

what else have people used and been impressed with? Recommendations? 

what else are people looking at trying?

Nanking AR-1s are more of a track focused R-compound tyre, a bit more grippy than the R888R. 185/60-13 on front 13x6” wheel, 235/45-13 on rear 13x8” wheel.

I’ve been very pleased with the two sets I’ve worn through so far, actually not far off the grip levels of the Hankook slicks that I previously used that are no longer obtainable.
