Mid range semi slick for 17's
Discussion
Hi all,
I have a spare set of wheels for my Yaris GRMN which I plan to put some semi slicks on and use for occasional track days (handful a year). My priorities are longevity above out right lap times, and they need to have good enough road manners to drive 3+ hours to and from the track. I'm looking for something on the less expensive end that I can use reliability and won't destroy themselves in a couple of track days.
Been a big fan of Cup 2's but they seem to be harder to come at decent prices (170€+ a corner here in Spain for 215/45R17). I used to use Kumho KU36 or Federal RSR as more budget semi slicks and liked them both, but has been a few years.
The latest options seem to be:
Yokohama AD08RS
Federal RSR-Pro
Nankang NS-2R
Zestino Gredge 07R
Accelera 651 Sport
Any recommendations on the above, need 215/45 R17?
