? ?? Not true at all. In fact almost all of my porsche driving - street and track - is done on "R" compound tires. Toyo RA1, Khumo Victoracers, BFG R1s (first genreation)Yoke A032 and A008s (yes, those go back quite a few years).

While it may not be the best "street tire" due to their quicker wear rates and less tread blocks (for water evacuation), they are perfectly fine driven on the street.

Also not sure why you would say they "put allot of strain on the drivetrain" - How?



As to the OP,. the Ecsta V700s were a bust as "R" comp tires. Khumo's V710, and Victoracer V700s were/are superior to the ECSTA version.
