Been using Nitto R2s for the past two years. Quite happy with them.
But its time to replace them for the upcoming season.


Is there something "better" out there?

Thanks

not really... nitto R2's are excellent....i like Kumho V710's too

Hoosier A6. If it's good enough for Danny Popp, then it's good enough for me.

"Better" in what sense? If you use the Nittos because you drive them to/from the track and you still want a DOT-R tire then you're pretty limited in choices -- Nitto & Toyo. If you trailer to the track and want track tires, then the options open up a tonne...

Mostly like them cause they "stick" like glue and allow me to drive them to and from the track.

If you're looking for streetable rubber, you're looking at the Nitto R2s, Toyo RA1s, Toyo R888s, and maybe Nitto NT01s? While these tires are way better than street tires, there's another step or three before you get to "stick like glue" (Hoosier A6). :-)

Streetable in the sense that I drive to the track 9 out of 10 times. So I need a tire that may encounter adverse weather conditions.

And yes, my Nitto R2s stick like glue on the track. Hoosiers I think would be a little drastic for my needs.

Hoosiers are not drag racing tires. Sure they are sticky and will work but that's not what they are made for. And you can't drive to events on them.

Anybody know if the Nittos come in stock C6 Z06 sizes? I'm guessing no...

Nitto NT01's or 555RII's do not come in C6Z06 sizes ...
Don't know anything more aggressive one could mount and drive to/from the track ... only possibility being Pilot Sport Cup's at 80 UTQG instead of the 100 on the Nitto's and Toyo's.
