$740 for a set of 200TW tires shipped is scary to think.
Then I dig and do some research. Somehow Maxxis has found a way to mix a good weekend warrior track tire with street drivability at an affordable price. I've read reviews on many different platforms, and seen them in use on BIR's Donnybrook Road Course on STI's, Evos, and S2000's driven by CWSCC track marshal's and instructors. Even if they aren't the best, they ARE the best bang for the buck that I can read about.
Anyone currently on them? I have some 8.5" MRR wheels that I'm going to throw some 245/40's on this year and see what they do. I ran NT05's last year and had no complaints on the street or track under optimal conditions. I had a few butt pucker moments in heavy downpours during the summer, but it's what I would expect from a tire that is 90% flat tread.
What's your thoughts, experience and opinions?
