Opinions on the Hankook Z211? Or Nitto NT01? For HPDE use.

How did you like the 615s? Did you use them on the street too? Tolerable?

Default Liked them a lot - OK on the street when new. Good track tire, decent life, cheap.

Best bang for the buck in its class IMHO. 'course it's no R-comp.

Default Were those the RT-615 (street tire)?

I've been playing with the idea of picking up a set of those to replace my Hankook Z212 RS2's that I wore out at my last track event in October. The Hankooks chunked a ton, but I beat the crap out of them during one late session trying to chase down a 993TT.

I've heard that the 615 is a good autox tire, but that it gets hot and greasy after some lapping at speed. Can you confirm or deny any of this heresay?


I need another season on street tires, and am looking at 3 moderately priced sticky tires (found below in the link). Any comments would be great.<ul><li><a href="http://www.edgeracing.com/tires/2354017/">Looking at the Z212, RT-516 and T-1R</a></li></ul>

The NT01's are nice. I think you'd like them.
