Novice DE - Question about tires

[Quadcammer]

bloody hell.

Just run a good high performance street tire like the ps4/pss, s04 or similar. First, figure out if you are even going to enjoy DE before spending money or grippier tires and 2nd, learning on street tires will generally allow you experience more slip angle at slower speeds and give you better feel for whats happening as the tires lose grip.

A rush to R compounds is a fools errand in my opinion.

Hankook RS-4, Dunlop Direzza, Yoko AD-08, BFG Rival will all hold up well to the rigors of DE and AX. They are excellent tires to learn the sport because they offer good predictable grip and last reasonably long. The Hankooks are better in the heat and Dunlop are better as a rain tire.

Put fresh tires all around, make sure your brakes and brake fluid are recent vintage, and spend $100 on a performance alignment to get to most negative camber you can in front. Now you are ready to party!

Thanks! I'm about ready to change out the brake lines+fluid and was planning on the alignment right after I got my tires.
