I am looking at Hoosier R6s for my E55. Want to see if anyone runs them on all 4 corners, and what experience(s) you have with them.

You mean for daily use?

Never have personally but I think it'll be fun.

I bought Hoosier R6s... didnt realize they werent for the drag strip, they are a road racing only tire... What are you using them for?

Never had slicks on my car but I'm sure they will be fun and grip like crazy once they get up to temp.

Going to use them as my daily tires.

My commute is like a road race...

I am hoping that the tires do not overpower he airmatic... Should be interesting lol

What about the nitro nt05 street tire? If it rains you'll still get home, they stick like glue. My only complaints were that they were loud as he'll and wore out fairly quickly, but they would still proly be better than the hoosiers on both those fronts...

I drove yesterday with the M/T's to light them up a few times and test my launches on the street, I was completely annoyed. The amount of dirt and gravel picked up and smacking my rear was amazing. Then again these are full slicks.

justinwrock

LoL yeah, they tend to pick up every single little stone and speck of dirt. I am currently running PS2s, and when you get them hot enough, they do the same thing... I am no longer allowed to lead the pack of cars....

Ha yea the M/Ts are very sticky... When my friend I on went on a little cruise, he was behind me on his bike and kept saying I was hitting him with little stones... I guess that why we call them the sticky mickey's

I am considering the Pirelli Slicks as well as Hoosier R6s. Three other options that people have thrown into the mix are Toyo R888, Nitto NT01, and Falken Azenis RT615.

Rain really is not an issue. I can park the E55 and drive something else when the weather is sour....

R6 are a pretty hard compound, bu once heated are definitely sticky.

First, these are not XL load rated. That has made me worried about using them even just for track use.

Hankook Rs-3 are available XL rated and are very sticky, although not in the range of a true track tire like the R6. They did take off 0.3s from my 0-60.

justinwrock

Pulled the trigger on some slicks.... O.o



Should be here before the end of the week! Will hopefully have some time to run them before the weather goes to hell....

I had a set of Flaken Azenis RT615 and they were great tires.

Nice!!
What set did you get?
