Stick really really good but noisy as hell on the street! Honestly they are really good wearing tires for this kind of racing.

We used Nitto Neo Gens at the last race, they were very good.

We used Hankook RS-2's with great success.  Cheap as hell too ($69ea for our size).  They need to be shaved or worn in a little bit though.  They kinda suck at full tread but at 3/4 tread they are great and only get better with wear.  Sticky all the way down to the cords.  I even use these tires on my 911 track car.

They were definately a big factor in our having the 2nd fastest lap time at Stafford

I run RS-2 tires on my street car and love them.  Hard to beat for the money.

we ran the Rs-2's on my firebird last year at Stafford.. needless to say they were pounded on by the 3k+ pounds that the firebird exerted on them. Tread wear was all screwed up and you could see that the outside edge of the front tire was down to the cord... I think this has more to do with weight then anything else... we changed over to wider Rims and tires from 225 to 275 with Sumitomo HTZ II's and i wouldnt think twice about running the same set again..

Re: Anyone used BFG G-Force KDW??

Ran the RS2s on the STS Audi at CMP...We had two sets so we swapped to a fresh set on Saturday night...another team bought two of our cast offs and ran them on Sunday. Oh, they ended up winning.

Nah, I love reading the same information over and over again!  Especially on the topics of "how much does this race cost?", "what tires should I use?", "where should I put my killswitch"

at least the endless $500 car options are unique.  Although I doubt I will be buying something in New York.

Re: Anyone used BFG G-Force KDW??

I did not ask what tires people were using. I asked if anyone had used that specific tire.

Hard to keep stuff on topic around here huh.

Re: Anyone used BFG G-Force KDW??

We used some of those, 2 fronts for the Oct MSRH race. They hung right in there til the end. They were about half tread depth to start. This was on a big pig Taurus SHO, 3200lbs.

Eh, that was an okay impression of professional.dreamer.  Needs more sarcasm and disdain, though.

That's cause worn RS-2 are signifigantly faster than brand new RS-2's. 

Sun morning when we inspected our car we realized we had issues with 2 of our wheels.  So we put our 2 spare rims with new tires on the outside.  BIG mistake.  The car handled like crap and was downright scary under braking for the first 2 hours.  Once they got broken in though it was much better and we where able to turn fast laps again.
