Any good deal on dedicated track tires for 18s

[rezilient]

I once found a great deal on relatively decent Federal 595 RSR tires (sub $100) and wondering if anyone has seen a good deal like this lately for 513m wheels? They don't have to be good for daily driving since they will only be for the track. Thanks for any help.

I don't know anyone that's tried that brand of tire. Personally, I would be skeptical of a sub $100 tire and hesitant to trust it at speed.

Right now people love the Nankang CRS or AR1. Great bakance betwee price/performance. They might have your sizes.

Potenza RE-71Rs
Driven even on the street it had pretty good manners
A bit loud though

Unfortunately, this tire is not available yet in North America.

Bumping this thread since im still having a hell of a time finding tires that fit the 513m 18" wheels and need something soon. Looking to make these wheels dedicated for the track, and use the 19"s for the street.

Also stepping up the stock size to this:

Front - 275/35R18
Rear - 295/35R18

There are very few tires in that 295 size. Ive looked for Federal 595rsr, Nitto NT01, Nankang CR1 and AR1, Falken Azenis rt615+…. None of them come in this size.

Any recommendations?

I totally appreciate the urge to get the most rubber to the ground, but unless you buy different wheels, your going to be better off with 255-265 front and 275-285 rear. I think this will give you more tire options. Plus a 275 tire is happiest on a 10' wheel.

If your tracking frequently consider a square set up 10x18 or 10.5x18 square set.
