If you are pursuing a National Championship this might makes sense. For local DE/AX not so much.
Other choices with excellent grip and heat characteristics but last much longer:
RA-1s- Good for about 50 HC or 10 days.
NT-01s- Good for about 50hc or 10 days.
MPSC- Good for about 20hc or 4 days |
I agree with Topless' advice. The ROW M030 suspension can't be set up to take maximum advantage of a true slick and therefore, you won't see the benefit that you might be expecting. A good DOT R-compound tire is your best bet with the M030.
If you really want the car and suspension to be track worthy, you'll have to go to full coilovers and then the car can be set up properly for race slicks.
