Not all R compounds are equal. The best ones should not be used on the street at all, IMHO. The mediocre ones are probably OK for getting to and from the track, but not for more than that generally.
For a really good street/autoX tire, the Falken Azenis fits the bill. Not R-compound, and it doesn't stick like one, but it grips better than pretty much any hard-compound tire available. --DD |
