Running TWO Front racing slicks and two rear street tires? = crazy?

**Eskimo_firefighter** · 03-07-2011 08:46 PM

Just as the tittle states how crazy would this be? ive found a pair of racing slicks for really cheap. How crazy would running two racing slicks at the front and two street tires (RE001) be? This is for an ep3r by the way. Would it cause crazy oversteer? what do you guys think?

Cheers.

This would of course be for a track day setup.

drag slicks or circuit slicks?

because drag slicks cant go around corners.

but itd prob handle like shit

Having different tires isnt the best idea. You will have very unbalance traction and steering when pushing it to limits. Id say best to tryna find another pair of Re001, and have balance traction all around, atleast u know what the cars behavior will be like

not that bad to practice on, broke PB same setup, last circuit club day.
Just soften the rear, shouldnt be too bad.

Personnel expirience, i had toyo r1r at the front and some shitty dunlops and it was the worst set up. This was at winton funday. Too much oversteer.

avoid

cars are supposed to run same tyres front n rear. Unless you are driving in a straight line. If i recall , i ran old yokohama dead stale tyres rear and RT215 falken azenis up front because i thought it was cool. I ended up lift off over steering into the embankment on a spirited drive soon after. Snap lift off - no chance of catching. Front digs in hard and pushes cars weight onto the rear axle and spins it like crazy quick.

If you start oversteering you can only bring it back so much with opposite-lock. You could usually smash the throttle and hope the front will lose grip and bring you back but that will only be limited with the slicks.

its not a good idea, like others said it will induce oversteer and it will more likely harder to catch with an even set front and back.

keep whatever tires u have on atm for practise around the track.

evn tho its a ps3 game. have a go of it on GT5 lol its fun but frustrating, too sticky at the front and the rears are loose
