Tires SUMITOMO or VITOUR

I just finished a coaching session with my friends 992 Carrera S on some new Vitour P1's and was very impressed with how they handled 20+ minute sessions. The heat tolerance is probably the best characteristic, especially compared to the yokes! The P1 just doesn't fall off on grip like that, they are very consistent and don't mind the high heat of the track.

If you will daily these AND do some AX, go for the Vitour P1 tires. They are as fast or faster than the RT660 but will last a lot longer. They also won't fall off in the AZ heat - they hold heat a lot better.

Vitour P1 has you covered. Fastest Super 200 tire out this season (check out GRM review). Also, they don't slow down when hot, and they're lasting longer than a y other options.

I may try the vitour next tire set. They sure preach they are fast and long wearing. Their prices are a little less than my 71RS so I guess worth a shot.

Sumitomo Encounter ATs are hands down the best bang for the buck.

I moved to the Vitour P1 last season. They're finally sanctioned this year. But more than that, holy hell do they last forever.

Nothing faster (they're on par with the a052). And yet... They last.

I did five events and 6,500 miles street and there's hardly any wear. As in, there's an etched swordfish logo on the tread block that's not even 1/32 deep and it's still visible!

I ran them in the remnants of Hurricane Helene (NC here) and had no issues even on the highway. Their cheesy named "water laser" technology seems to actually work.

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.

Just got a set on my winter stock wheels about a week ago now. I love the look. I'm currently running Sumitomo Ice Edge tires in the size 245/25/18. I previously had a set of Blizzarks (245/40/18) and can't really feel any significant difference in performance with the taller sidewall.

Reviews say its major shortcoming is that it generates a lot of loud noise.

In australia we sold them as a budget brand, they were noisy, slippery and very average however as a drift tyre, i have no idea.
