vs
Tires COMFORSER or VITOUR
I moved to the Vitour P1 last season. They're finally sanctioned this year. But more than that, holy hell do they last forever.
Nothing faster (they're on par with the a052). And yet... They last.
I did five events and 6,500 miles street and there's hardly any wear. As in, there's an etched swordfish logo on the tread block that's not even 1/32 deep and it's still visible!
I ran them in the remnants of Hurricane Helene (NC here) and had no issues even on the highway. Their cheesy named "water laser" technology seems to actually work.
Pros: last forever, good wet performance
Mileage: 10460 km
When I ran P1s in the 70s and lower they needed part of an autoX lap to come in. Also, P1s come in 345s so when they did come in they were better than 315 Yokes. Head to head in the same size I'd go with the tire that works better cool/cold. But the P1s are impressive mid to end of the lap and seemed to allow higher cornering speeds in my non scientific testing.
Pros: higher cornering speeds
Cons: need time to come in
for 200 TW I tried the vitour Tempesta p1 and it shocked me.. amazing grip with good price! its too good you wont beleive its 200 tw
Pros: amazing grip, good price

Longest lasting super 200 is the Vitour P1. Affordable, fun sizes, and they LAST a long time while keeping up with the top dogs. Got a set this year and I love them. Put 6,500 miles plus 25 AX runs and they've barely worn.
Pros: last a long time
Cons: barely worn
Mileage: 6500 km

Volkswagen Beetle
Part number: 155R15
Vitour P1 for a long lasting 200tw that's only a hair behind the Hoosier. They also handle heat well, and come in some creative sizes
Pros: long lasting, handles heat
as a tire, they seem slightly dubious as far as the 200tw rating goes (although a052s are super low-duro too). they don't work well on heavy cars and from a buddy who runs them in practice/at non-scca events, they seem to overheat/slide a lot (corresponds to what the GRM article states). but they for sure are quick.
Pros: are quick
Cons: overheat, slide a lot
Yes, they’re cheap, and yes they hold on well enough in the dry and make the fun 1970s police chase tyre squeal noise, but when there is even the slightest moisture on the road, and I mean just a bit of damp or drizzle, they lose ALL grip. They are genuinely dangerous and should not be for sale anywhere that rains.
Pros: fun tyre squeal noise
Cons: lose ALL grip
Check out arivo, sailun, federal, Achilles, gt radial these are mid to upper mid budget tires.
Anything cheaper just go with westlake or look for the ph branded tire from yokohama. Hard pass for comforser tires
Cons: Hard pass
