There seems little options in 20 inch tires in terms of really sticky road course tires? Any suggestions?
Alternatively, 18 and 19 inch used rims are cheap. What is the best road race treaded tire in your view (rain tire)?

 

toyo r888 is a realy sticky tire. mostly for track use though

Michelin sport cup is also for track use but maybe a bit more suitable for road use.

The stickiest tires for road use are michelin pilot sport

And ther are not so many realy sticky tires in 20" no

What is the purpose of the use driving laptimes on a track or dragracing??

Yokohama has som realy sticky tires aswell try the a048 but the toyo is just as good but alot cheaper

 

Both, actually. Or one set of each.

My searching seems to indicate I'll have to drop down to 18 inch wheels to find seriously good tires (DOT or not). Fortunately, prices of used - even new - 17 and 18 inch rims are cheap. I just like how my 20 inchers look. Thanks for the imput.

 

I have Yoko Advan Sports on the XKR, they are really sticky with a treadwear index of 180.

 

Pilot sport cups are ok in rain. Stay away from corsas. Most of these super sticky tires do suck in rain compared to regular performance tires like PS2's and such.

 

Thanks for all your comments!


Don't you think Hoosiers with the big white lettering would look cool? Fashion up some twelve inch wide 15 inch rims for the rear and run em at about 12 psi with really narrow Mickey Thompsons up front... add some 60s style chrome side pipes and wow!
