On the Vitours so at least for now prefer them ????
Vitour P1 is the hot new tire to run. As fast as the fastest, really stiff sidewall to keep you somewhat taught on a oversized tire, and longer lasting than any other top tier 200tw tires.
I just finished a coaching session with my friends 992 Carrera S on some new Vitour P1's and was very impressed with how they handled 20+ minute sessions. The heat tolerance is probably the best characteristic, especially compared to the yokes! The P1 just doesn't fall off on grip like that, they are very consistent and don't mind the high heat of the track.
If you will daily these AND do some AX, go for the Vitour P1 tires. They are as fast or faster than the RT660 but will last a lot longer. They also won't fall off in the AZ heat - they hold heat a lot better.
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.
Moved on from the run flats to Vredestein Quatrac Pro+. No run flats, no bubbles, and a SIGNIFICANT improvement in ride and noise. Seriously, switch away from these tires and you will only regret not doing it sooner
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 had the Vredestein Sportrac 5 previously.
Positives:
+ Quiet and smooth ride
+ Very reliable on flooded highways
Negatives:
- Soft sides, tires looked deflated at the recommended pressure (2.2/1.9 bar - if the car is not loaded, which is most of the time). If I inflate more the drive gets extreme hard and uncomfortable.
I have not driven a lot of tires but wonder if that soft side somehow dampens accuracy?
- Surprisingly bad at braking on the dry, even at low speed in the city, they slide.
I bought 2025 Mini Cooper S a month ago and I already have flat tire incident third time. I am a new driver so did hit a pothole at 20ish mph but nothing at a high speed.
