I'm running HPDE time trials on Kumho MX.

Does anyone who has experience with both of these feel the Nitto tires would improve time? I haven't seen any on Corvettes but I have seen them on Saleens and GTOs. The drivers seem to like them.

I have run both and like both.

MX is cheaper but the Nittos are a little faster in my experience.

I've not run the Nittos, but I believe Toyo owns Nitto (or vice versa), and I've heard the 555 R2s are the same compound as the Toyo RA-1s, just a different tread pattern.

If that's the case, the R2s should be a great street/track tire compromise.

HTH, and have a good one,
Mike
