Tires Maxxis or VITOUR
We have Vitour Galaxy tires on our car. They are affordable and work very good. We have a 1979 230 and the stock size there would be 175SR14. The closest I could find with white stripes was the Vitour tires in 185/80-14. They are a little bit taller than the stock size and fill out the wheel opening a little bit more, but I like how it looks and drives.
Pros: affordable, work very good, good looks, good drive
The 3CT (MaxxTerra?) is a much more suitable rear tyre compound and it's already on the softer side, I can't imagine ever running a Maxxgrip rear tyre outside of pro racing as it's slow rolling and wears out incredibly fast.
Pros: suitable rear tyre compound
Cons: slow rolling, wears fast
I'm on vitour p1's right now. Its a very fast tire that doesn't melt like the a052, but its still a super 200 tread life wise.
Pros: very fast, doesn't melt
Cons: super 200 tread life

Hatte mal Maxxis Sommerreifen und war begeistert, die waren leise und hatten nass/trocken immer super Haftung.
Pros: leise, super Haftung nass/trocken
De Maxxis-banden kunnen er af en je kan eenvoudig Pilot Sport 5 laten monteren.
I switched from cup2's to vitour's on my 981 gt4 and have no complaints. They last longer and I think they more consistent than the cup2's.
Pros: last longer, more consistent
Vehicle:
Porsche
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
I just put a set of Rekon Race on my Roscoe. Haven't ridden the trails yet. Our trails are hard pack dirt, with a little sand, in the woods.
Tried a DHF for the first time yesterday. That vague transition zone is REAL and I did NOT like it.
Cons: vague transition zone
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.
Cons: need time to get grip
