Grassroots Motorsports just did a tire test using their Tire Rack Autocross MX-5.
They evaluated the following tires:
Time-wise they finished in this order:
Kooks, Yokos, Toyos, Kumhos, Stones, Dunlops.
On a 55 second course they were within 1 second of each other, so for street duty other factors may prevail, such as price, wet weather handling, response, longevity, etc.
Quite a few of these tires are available in sizes that fit our shoes 195/50-15 or 205/50-15.
Now I am torn as I have to decide what best fits my incoming 15x7 wheels.
Hmmm! Decisions, decisions.
What do you think?
