r compounds are too expensive for me, Im looking for some low price but decent tires for using on track only. My track rims size: 17"x9/17"x10
Thank you.

 

i wouldnt think that tire would be sticky enough...i'd look into the bridgestone re11...they arent cheap either...but may be cheaper than R compounds...goodlcuk

 

HORRIBLE tire.


They sucked horribly for street driving, so they'll suck even more for track driving.

 

Sumitomo HTR Z III
Kumho Ecsta MX
Kumho Ecsta V700
Yokohama S.drive
Kumho Ecsta XS

what about those? Thank you

 

100% agreed. I bought a set of used SSR GT3 wheels that came with the ES100s. I literally gave them away for a case of beer on Craigslist, they were so horrible. I can't imagine doing a track day with them. Get something used, RE050As, PS2s, RT615s, anything, over those tires. RT615s are quite cheap in 17" tires. Also look at the Kumho Victoracer tire. That's what I started on - also cheap in 17" sizes and can drive to/from the track on them. You will kick yourself in the nuts if you choose the ES100s.

All WAY better. From what I've read from a trusted source, I'd choose the XS. Like I said, the Victoracer and RT615s are something to consider, too (for a track-only set of wheels, I'd honestly choose the Victoracers over the RT615s).

 

i will try to get the XS. i dont think my skill is good enough to reach the full performance of Victoracer
thank you

 

You have to love 17" tire size pricing. Kumho XS 255/40 and 275/40 - $600 for all 4 at TR. Even the VRs are $686 in the same size.

 

thank you thank you, thats why i got 17"s as my track rims...

 

I am as well, 17x10s all around:

Not the best tire for track use. Aggressive street at most. Look to max or extreme perf tires to double as track options.

 

He isn't looking for a set to double as street and track. He said they are for dedicated track, "My track rims size: 17"x9/17"x10".

 

If he's driving them to the track, which I assume he is since the original tire in question as a street tire not a dedicated track tire, then a street performance tire is what is best. A dedicated track tire won't be the best idea to drive over there with. If he isn't driving them then I ask why the Yoko or any other street tire was mentioned instead of a track tire.

 

Yokohama ES100's suck on the street, so its deficiencies would be even more amplified on the track.

 

Nitto NT05 and Kumho XS have great affordable tires in the sizes you need.

 

i got the same rims but staggered.

 

Same model and color or just the same model? I wanted to have the ability to rotate them, since the wear between the 4 isn't even. . .

 

5zigen fn01rc but metal color
here is the picture

my friend switched those 5zigens with my oem 17"s because he was selling his car

 

I just got some FK452s put on last weekend and ran them at the track. I didn't find them too bad, I'm using them as a street tire as well though.

ES100s are **** tires imo. I ran them on my s13 briefly and wasn't too happy with them.

 

Nice! What are the offsets? (If you don't know, they are stamped on the inside of the wheel, on the back of the spokes).
