Wet/rain track tire suggestions?
Have been thinking of getting a wet set for those wet track days... tomorrow Im running at Assen, NL and will be on 12yr old Potenza S-02 Pole Position's. How nice is that?
Suggest me some wet track tires. Consider this:
- I will run R888s in dry and they dont suit me in the wet when they are worn.
- I will not run the wet set in the dry, so wear is not an issue.
- I can look at pictures myself and guestimate the best tire, so I am looking for actual track experience in this area.
- Car produces around 235rwhp, suggest me a width! 195 seems small, maybe 205 is a good wet width. 225 seems to wide to me.
I would like them to be road legal, like the dry set so I can run them at the Nürburgring during public days.
Suggestions I came up with:
- Toyo R1R
- Federal SS595
- Kumho W710

225 is by all means not to large my freind, it is perfect for your power lvl. I have no R comp experience though so i will stay out of this these tires look promising you might consider them if they are available in your market. Hoosier Radial Wet the hoosier is dot legal man just wears fast lol.
