I’ll be driving from Austin to NSXPO and back. I’m debating which tires I will bring with me – weighing performance vs. cost of burning up tire on the open highway. I would like to have good performing tires for the events at NSXPO, but I hate to burn up good tire on the 2100 mile round trip. My options are:
A) Boulevard cruiser 17/18 Enkei with Yokohama ES100: These tires have good wear and don’t cost much, but have so-so performance – the heavy wheels don’t help either.
B) Lightweight 16/17 Zanardi with awesome Bridgestone RE010: This performs much better, but would cost around $160 more in tire wear just getting there and back on I-10.
It’s a pretty minor issue, but I welcome any feedback.
Actually, I do have a third option: C) Stock 15/16 phat-fives with the wonderful Yokohama A022: I think this has the best performance out of the three, but I don’t want to be laughed at (I know many folks don’t have the same love for these wheels as I).
