Tires DUNLOP or VITOUR
Vitour P1 has you covered. Fastest Super 200 tire out this season (check out GRM review). Also, they don't slow down when hot, and they're lasting longer than a y other options.
I may try the vitour next tire set. They sure preach they are fast and long wearing. Their prices are a little less than my 71RS so I guess worth a shot.
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.
I got 77500 miles on my Dunlops before changing to Defenders 2. Defenders 2 feel much better.
Der Satz Reifen Dunlop Sport Maxx RT (nicht der 2er) hat mich das letzte Mal in den Dimensionen 225/40 R18 91Y knapp unter 300 Euro gekostet.
I tried P1s for autoX. P1s are in the hunt. They can keep up with competitive tires, but I think Yokes are probably a little bit better for overall. I'd give Yokes a slight advantage for forward bite, especially off the line and in cooler temperatures.
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.
Do not recommend unless you can get a lot of heat into them. even on warm days they would need some time to get grip. If you're in Alaska I could see them not working well for like 8 months out of the year, and they're really expensive too.
I joined here and immediatley saw a dozens of posts about how SHIT the stock Dunlops are at 40F or less and massacres of spanking new WRXs.
My Dunlops are near end of life. I only work two days a week so I’ve made it work but driving in the other day had a quarter inch of snow on the ground…..sketchy asfff.
