Rotary Car Club - View Single Post - Need some help deciding on a summer / autocross / lapping tire!

Hi guys,

I'm looking around at different summer tires, and I need a little advice. These are to go on my '93 R1.

I don't think i'm at the point where i want to be buying a set of dedicated track wheels/tires so I want something that's good on the street (liveable ride, good enough wear to get a couple of summers out of them), and going to be fun for autocross and maybe the odd lapping day. Here's what i'm looking at:

Falken Azenis RT615

Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec

Nitto NT05 - I'd have to come across to the U.S. to pick these up as they are apparantly not available in Canada.

Budget choice: BFGoodrich G-Force Sport

If you own or have owned any of these tires, feedback on treadwear would be great. If i'm going to spend the $$$, i'd like them to hold up somewhat well to street driving. I do about 10,000 miles each year.
