Hey everyone,
Just curious where everyone finds good pricing on track tires? Limited options in canada so wondering where people go.
Cheers

i have ordered from Tirerack and Perry Performance. Also can get good pricing from Motorsport Supplies if you are ever in Edmonton.

Thanks guys, I had good luck with pmctire's ebay store in the fall they had a sale but it's hard to find anything under 500 a corner most times. what's everyone using for tires??

Last year I was using RE71s, this year I'll have a mix of Re71 and CRS.

Where ya tracking the car?

primarily RMM near calgary. Hoping to get 20-30 days in this year so all of a sudden tire wear is really starting to matter. Tried r888r (not a fan of the grip drop off) and AR1's which i love just trying to find something longer lasting. Have rt660 waiting in the garage for when the ar1's go. On 19's now and hoping to switch to a square 18 set up at some point.

Have you looked at extreme contact forces? Save a lot of weight compared to the 660.

Currently nto1s but will get another set of ecf's for street and rain at the track.

Just read about those on the forum, seems like a good option just a little trickier to find!
What sizes are you running?how many days are you getting on them?

depending on your tire preference...

Hankook RS4 is a great 'everyday' endurance 200tw tire and you get them cheaper than anywhere else here (also other Hankook options if you want more aggressive):

Also Phil's Tires is a good place for Nankang and others:

Go see Kyle a SPEC R tires.

Just about everyone that goes to RMM and Castrol, from Calgary goes to see him.

I'm running NT01's. They are the best R rate compound for the price... Nankang CR-S are supposed to be great as well. Have a friend trying them out this season.

20-30 days at RMM. Are you running upgraded brakes!???
