A little off topic, but hoping someone here has the info I need.
My wife's MazdaSpeed Miata's (that she lets me drive sometimes) Kumho Ecsta V700 tires are about toast. They are used for AX only and worked fairly well. I would get them again but sadly, they are no longer available in the required 205/40-17 size. If fact race rubber of any kind is hard to come by in that size.
It turns out that the Nitto NT-01 is available.
For those of you who have used the NT-01 for AX or anywhere else:
Does anyone here have experience to compare the cold (as in 45 second AX run) traction of the Kumho Ecsta V700, the NT-01 and maybe the Hoosier R6?
The Toyo RA-1 is another possibility.
Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
