Having healthy tires that are designed for your type of driving is an essential part of staying safe on the road and having a great time. If you are road racing, the tires that you pick and the way that you install them make an even bigger difference.
So how do you know if you have the right stuff where the rubber meets the road?
Here are the top 5 best tires for road racing.
RE 71R Bridgestone Potency
Potency tires from Bridgestone have a reputation for top performance in both wet and dry weather, which makes them perfect for a comfortable ride even under the most trying conditions.
These tires have a proprietary water dispersion mechanism and fantastic treads that give you the grip that you need for tight turns, great braking and fast starts.
Racers love the Potency line as one of the best drag tires on the market, and one of the most popular brands as well.
R888R Dot Competition Toyo Proxes
A step up from the legendary Proxes R888, the R888R is proven to provide better performance, especially in dry handling situations. The tread and the contact patch have both been upgraded to put more rubber on the road, which helps to provide better handling.
The reputation it has with racers is great stability, superior traction and extraordinary lateral grip without giving up tread life.
Sport 4S Michelin Pilot
Michelin tires have a sterling reputation in all aspects for a good reason — they always deliver quality. The Pilot Sport 4S is the flagship racer that will give you great all around performance regardless of the type of driving conditions you throw in front of it.
Tread life is long, they have a dynamic response, and they give you precise performance with an eye to the challenges of street racing.
Sport Cup 2 Michelin Pilot
If you aren’t quite looking for the ultra-superior performance (and price tag) of the Sport 4S, you can fall back on the Sport Cup 2 Pilot series from Michelin for a durable, strong stand-in.
These tires were made with the most powerful of supercars in mind, and they are made to provide seasoned drivers with a performance that they can count on.
RT615K+ Falken Azenis
If you are looking for more grip and traction in your tires, then the RT615K+ could very well be your preferred choice. The “+” comes into play because of the extra attention to handling and grip, giving you cornering and straight lining that is more precise than many of its competitors. You also get durability that can easily survive day to day driving.
