bc1987 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hi all, I am sure this question has been asked before but I cant find an answer; I want to start using my Zed for the odd track day. I have another track car which I have Federal RSR's on and they are wicked but they do not make them in standard zed size. I am actually struggling to find any in standard zed size (I run 18" RAYS). has anyone ventured in to using a non standard size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I was using 255 rears and 235 fronts on std rims, 265/275 rears on wider track wheels. The Nankang AR1 is a very very good tyre and available in, 225, 235, 245, 255, 265, profiles may not completely marry up to oem but presuming you run with tcs off on track there will be no issues with any interference. If you are planning on a few days, its worth the extra cost to get some track dedicated rims either std rays or something a little wider allowing 235, 265/275 imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc1987 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Thanks. Did 255/235 give you TCS issues? I want to get track wheels eventually (cue anyone with beat up wheels trying to sell pm me) but in mean time they would double as road tyres (I do less than 2k a year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I never used them on track with the tcs on, so cant answer that. To be fair if you are doing that sort of mileage i would just get some mpss or goodyear f1 and wait for some decent wider track rims and shot them in sticky rubber, just dont get some heavy old rubbish as you will be better on rays with smaller width tyres.

Ekona Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 235/255 should be absolutely fine on the Rays, and as JP says you’d never be on track with TCS on anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350_Jer Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I use 225/40-18, and 245-40-18 Toyo R888R's on standard Rays. Work fine with the TCS if you really feel the need to keep it on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science_GT Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I've done the odd track day on Mine with only a brake upgrade. Was using Goodyear Eagle F1's and couldn't really fault them for a 15 minutes blast around Combe. Didn't come off thinking damn I need better tyres. I'd one on the original Bridgestones and wasn't too impressed though. Not done a whole day so couldn't comment on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Have you ever tried semi slicks though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
