Re: Nitto Tire 555R2's
yeah shorter turns was what I was referring to. R3S03 (and 04's) are cool tires

Re: Nitto Tire 555R2's
oh and to Nathan's original question We are both running them. 275 is the smallest you can get, I believe. I got them from Discount tire. Allan can get them as well.

Nathan, I recommend you call one of these guys: John Burget (in Wisconsi) 262-740-0180 Appalation Tire (in Tennesse) 865-681-6622 They both can put you into a really good used R compound tire for a decent price.

The Hoosiers that I run are a true race compound and will only last about 200 miles (on the track). THis is why I cannot afford to race anymore. I have heard that the Kuhmo's (?) that are the spec tire for AI will last a bit longer, however they are not as sticky as the Hoosier or GoodYear compounds.

The R means Racing compound. Hoosiers are very soft and do not last long. Hankook and Kumhos aren't as soft, but they do last longer. The pavement where they autox is pretty rough, so I wouldn't run a really soft compound.
