Tires Hankook or Goodyear

I've had Goodyear Assurance before but I had Comfort Tread not the fuel saver ones. I would buy again, they were quiet, good traction, stayed round, held air, etc.

My guess would be that NASCAR tires are on the very hard end of the F1 tyre spectrum with the cornering loads/weight that NASCAR has in comparison.

I'm running the V12 evo2's right now, JB1. For daily use, I couldn't be happier. They've all but completely solved my traction issues in 2nd and 3rd gear. Still have to ease into it a bit in 2nd, but 3rd can go WOT ~3k rpm.

Second set of Hankook Ventus Evo2 purchased. Good tire for price. Just be sure to rotate em as I didn't (got a nail in one; plugged) and fronts got killed while backs still have plenty of tread (25 k on em).

Ran the V12s on my 370z and they were fine, with longer tread life than PSS (on that car anyways). Hankook is a solid brand, and unless you track your car, etc. just save the money for something else.

Find the Goodyear trailer at the track. After the race sometimes the tire guys will sell you one over the fence. Got one a few years ago for $5 at Milwaukee.

If you just want a used racing tire, (maybe Goodyear, maybe not), check out your local short track. The one's I've been to usually have piles of them laying around.

Goodyear was selling the "Support Our Troops" tires from Charlotte at the june michigan race last year for $20.

The Hankooks are great daily driver tires, but after running one autocross on them I was not happy with them for performance driving. I have them on my BMW.

Don't worry, the 3.6L driver will end up in the ditch because his hankook tires exploded.
