Tires Maxxis or VITOUR

We have Vitour Galaxy tires on our car. They are affordable and work very good. We have a 1979 230 and the stock size there would be 175SR14. The closest I could find with white stripes was the Vitour tires in 185/80-14. They are a little bit taller than the stock size and fill out the wheel opening a little bit more, but I like how it looks and drives.

The 3CT (MaxxTerra?) is a much more suitable rear tyre compound and it's already on the softer side, I can't imagine ever running a Maxxgrip rear tyre outside of pro racing as it's slow rolling and wears out incredibly fast.

I'm on vitour p1's right now. Its a very fast tire that doesn't melt like the a052, but its still a super 200 tread life wise.

Hatte mal Maxxis Sommerreifen und war begeistert, die waren leise und hatten nass/trocken immer super Haftung.

De Maxxis-banden kunnen er af en je kan eenvoudig Pilot Sport 5 laten monteren.

I switched from cup2's to vitour's on my 981 gt4 and have no complaints. They last longer and I think they more consistent than the cup2's.

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.

I just put a set of Rekon Race on my Roscoe. Haven't ridden the trails yet. Our trails are hard pack dirt, with a little sand, in the woods.

Tried a DHF for the first time yesterday. That vague transition zone is REAL and I did NOT like it.

Do not recommend unless you can get a lot of heat into them. even on warm days they would need some time to get grip. If you're in Alaska I could see them not working well for like 8 months out of the year, and they're really expensive too.
