Which tires would you choose??

[Bruno]

What are people using on the track. I'm thinking of picking up some cheap 16" or 17" wheels off ebay and using this strictly for the track. But I don't want to spend a bunch of money for competition tires- trying to keep the price under $120/tire. Any suggestions?
Thanks-

Whart I used to do is buying used R compound tires... I never bought any new R compound.

tire forums and such. I like to read up on it. Earlier in the year I bought a 17" RRS wheel package with the Falken ZIEX tires. Despite the consumer reports review on this tire, I really wanted to get the GRB 451 tires in the package but the supplier didn't have these tires and would've cost me more to have them in the package so I settled for the ZIEXs. I looked into the GRBs and therefore repeatedly saw what I quoted earlier on "silica..." from tirerack and 1010tires and so on, which BTW, the tire had gotten good reviews... I looked into it a bit more and found a great site on natural and synthetic rubber and booked marked it. If you like to read technical stuff like this then this is up your alley. HTH, enjoy...
