Tirelli Trofeo R vs Nitto N05R vs Hoosier R6

i just tuned my GT2 by emre @ esmotors, and i can feel a huge difference in the performance, i would like to thank emre and his father for the amazing job that he did.

lets get to the point, we have a top speed event in qatar from stand still for 800m spin, and im confused what kind of tires to fix on my GT2 ??

Id do the new Trofeo R. Much better then the Nitto and almost the stick of the Hoosier but if you get caught in the rain you are much better off.

Not much rain in Qatar - at least when I was there. Spent most of my time at Cholesterol Corner...

If you're just looking for tires for the race, the Hoosiers are going to stick the best.

Hi Nasser, it's been a long time since you've started your GT2 project, my congrats if you're happy with the car.

I'm not sure that any tires will solve your problem, cause I've tried Toyo 888, Hoosier R6 and Nitto, but none of them will hold such HP on RWD, on my opinion you have two options
1st chnge the stock ECU to Motec or ProEfi (or other) and make boost by gear, like on UGR's Lambos. I've tried it and it's a great thing. You can do 650-700hp on 1st gear, 800 on 2nd and full boost on 3rd or any other way.
2nd option is to make All wheel drive on your GT2, I know it sounds funny, but I have an AWD GT2 9ff 1200hp, and I use Hossier R6, great tires. I'm not sure if any other companys do AWD to GT2, but I suppose it's similar to Turbo cars.

By the way, do you have 4,1ltr engine or?
