Hi. I'm looking a tire just for autocross (1 date per month). 215/45/17

Even the R888R are slick, they have a good price.

Thanks!

Are you looking for best grip regardless of price, best bang for the buck or something that has decent grip but will have decent tire wear? Do you need it to work in the rain?

Don't forget about the R-S4 which just came out this month

Hi, sorry for the poor info LOL!

I need the best grip in dry condition (no rain to much here). About the price, the R888R, RE71R and the AD08 are in the same range. The RS3 with RSRR. And the AD08R i think is the more expensive.

Basically, i need a rank of this tires for autocross in dry condition.

Thanks! Greetings from Perú and sorry for my english

Ok, the RS3 V2 in 215/45/17 is out of stock

That's because it's being replaced by the RS4. Most guys I see at the AutoX run the RE-71R. R888R has the potential to be just as good but it's too new so there's not a lot of reviews for it. AD08R is a step down from the RE-71R. Nitto NT01 and the Maxxis RC-1 are also tires you might want to consider and are in the same class grip-wise as the RE-71R.

The NT01 are a little expensive in compare with the others from the list. The Maxxis RC1 aren't good, here in Perú are cheap ($140 225/45/17) but the people complains about the grip and squeal too much.

In order:

R888R/NT01 > RS3 (out of stock) > RE-71R > AD08R

Thats right?

Thanks!

I'd say:

R888R/NT01/RE-71R > RS4/AD08R

RS3's are discontinued so no sense in considering them. The caveat is that the RS4 and R888R are so new, there's no data but they should slot in as above.

Are you planning to use these on the street, or will they go on separate wheels that you will only use for autocross?

Only for autoX

Yesterday i tested the Yoko A048... Damn! Very nice tire.

[pbonsalb]

A048 is an R compound. Of the tires in the thread title, only the 888 is R compound.

RS-RRs are noisy AF. They were cheap and the RS-Rs weren't too bad so I thought i'd try them, I bought them for autox but do drive them once in a while on the street. For the price they have great dry grip, probably a little below RS-3s levels but I haven't tested them in the same sizes as my RS3s so it's hard to compare apples to apples. Won't buy again.

More interested in RS4s this year, hopefully they raise the bar and surpass the RE71R gap.

If you are going r-comps -- Hoosier A7. If not r-comp, the answer is BFG Rival S 1.5 or the RE71R. Everything else means you are looking for excuses.

The magic 8 ball says they failed to surpass RE71R.
