Tires OEM FORD or VITOUR

When I ran P1s in the 70s and lower they needed part of an autoX lap to come in. Also, P1s come in 345s so when they did come in they were better than 315 Yokes. Head to head in the same size I'd go with the tire that works better cool/cold. But the P1s are impressive mid to end of the lap and seemed to allow higher cornering speeds in my non scientific testing.

Longest lasting super 200 is the Vitour P1. Affordable, fun sizes, and they LAST a long time while keeping up with the top dogs. Got a set this year and I love them. Put 6,500 miles plus 25 AX runs and they've barely worn.

Vitour Galaxy R1 155R15, $63.89 each

Why a solid rib down the center?

These are vintage VW beetle size, 15 inch rim 4.5 inch wide. FWIW they have good reviews on the seller's website

Vitour P1 for a long lasting 200tw that's only a hair behind the Hoosier. They also handle heat well, and come in some creative sizes

Sunday I'm doing my first event on the Vitour P1, moving from the Rival S 1.5. I'll report back.

Biggest thing on them is the sizes. They make weird sizes that can net you an advantage, especially on specific cars.

I've done about 1200 Street miles and it's a clearly faster tire. Hard as hell when cold. Like, the first mile or two is pretty bouncy. But settles in quickly just on street driving. I imagine the first lap will get enough heat in.

While I'd love to do an apples to apples size wise, the very availability of a 305 in a 15" tire at 200tw is a huge consideration. Like for like they could be slower, but the next widest 15" option is a 245" by the competitors' 200tw offerings. So, I'll post my results after Sunday's event.

The shorter overall OD can also help (or hurt) depending on gearing.

I have 225/45r16 on mine. Only have rubbing with the fender going over medium to large bumps at speed. I've had small slivers eaten out of the same area. I'm on my second set of 225's. No significant issues.

I liked the handling but the OEM tires were trash (as they often are). Luckily I ran over some road debris that caused to get a new set of tires anyway. Once that was sorted out it is pretty entertaining.

The last vehicle I had it happen to was on my 2002 Ford Sport Trac. The tires on my Sport Trac only had 24,000 miles on them when they began cupping. I could not stand the noise from these tires, which I eventually put on the rear so that at least I couldn't feel it in my steering.
