vs
Tires Shinko or VITOUR
I dont care about road noise so i stick to Vitour Tempesta Enzo semi slicks, insane cornering stabilty, dry grip is phenomenal as well as steering response.
Pros: insane cornering stabilty
Cons: noisy at first
Mileage: 50000 km
Go for the Vitour P1. Just out a set on my MR2 this weekend. Wow so much grip
Pros: so much grip
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
I'm running them on my C7Z (315/345s on 18s). Only one event on them so far (next one is tomorrow) and can confirm they are stupid fast. I was running Conti ECFs previously and about 70% of my first event on the P1s was trying to find the limit and learn the tire.
Pros: stupid fast
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Corvette
Shinko SR777 HD (reinforced) tires on my '04 FLHRSI as best bang for the buck given how ex$pen$ive the premium tires are these days. It helps to check the psi more often for longevity though.
Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: check psi more often
I run shinko 777 in the rear. It's cheap and I like them. The compound is a bit hard so you'll lose cold weather performance. But I ride in 45 degrees and above and haven't had issues with them.
Pros: cheap, user likes them
Cons: lose cold performance
I have shinko 805/804s, they are pretty identical to the 606s, and I absolutely love them. If you balance them well they ride good at 75mph, and handle dirt fantastic.
Pros: handle dirt fantastic
I switched to the shinko 244 front and have loved the d606 rear combo. It dives into the corners on the road and will give you about 80% confidence on the dirt.
Pros: dives into the corners
Ran a set of 777s on my sportster and they are great tires ! Was very happy with them.
Pros: great tires
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
In australia we sold them as a budget brand, they were noisy, slippery and very average however as a drift tyre, i have no idea.
Cons: noisy, slippery, very average
