A win for the cleaning guy.

[@JerryCecco]

thank you!!!!

[@motonvipr]

Curious how much quicker are Trofeo RS tires compared to tires like the Cup 2 R?

[@Oneworld1116]

Have you tried the Supercar 3r’s? I’m currently running the 3’s on my Cayman, but thinking about switching. Also been looking at the rt660’s compared to Supercar 3’s. Take care

[@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast]

The 3r is a lot faster. The rt660 last longer. The nankang crs v2 would be a great middle of the road tire if you're looking for something that last longer than 3r. The crs is just as fast if not faster then a052. The a052 is great for less experienced drivers imo it's easy to drive. I'm not saying anything besides it helps less experience. It's just as capable in professional hands too.

[@Vorshlag]

Supercar 3R is 100TW and not legal for any of the "200TW" series we run, so we have not tested with those. I suspect the RT-660 will be a tick slower but wear much better.

[@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast]

From what I saw the classification or mod factor is the same as last year. The yok doesn't have a different mod factor than an rt660. What am I missing? Id be surprised if it did cause. Its classed different thab conti extreme contact force, rival s, rt615, etc

[@Vorshlag]

You are correct, for the current NASA mod factors are 1.0 vs 1.6 for many of the 200TW. But in practice (and we have tested this also) the RT-660 is a DISTANT 2nd place to the A052 and RE71Rs.

Nankang CR-S v2 are supposed to be as fast as A052 but last a lot longer, thats what I've heard anyway, haven't tried them.

[@Vorshlag]

Everyone I know (and trust) who has tested the CRS V2 against the A052 has said the opposite.

[@boblast5582]

@@Vorshlag the V2? I know the first version gave up quick and was a bit slower...
