Semi Slicks

[Snowman]

My experience is that Skylines (well GT-R's at least) are too heavy for R888's. They seem to work better on lighter cars. They just don't last more than 1 hot lap on a GT-R without going squishy.

Weight is one thing that most people don't consider when discussing semi-comps. But I'm sure it's why some tyres work better on some cars than others.

Thats why I think the Bridgestones work the best with GT-R's as they handle the weight the best. I think in the dry they are even better than the Dunlops for my car.

My 2c.

Some of the guys that do the multiclub super sprints use them regularly and happy with them

It's probably because I am a bad driver, but I haven't found much difference between the S-Comp RT215s and my old R-Comp R888s in terms of outright grip.

It's in heat capacity that I found the biggest gain. The RT215s would go greasy after a half a dozen flying laps of Wakefield, whereas the R888s usually make it to 10 laps before the rear would get loose.

At a supersprint, where it's only 3-4 flying laps a go, I'd probably be quite happy to use S-Comps.

Just make sure you find out the production dates, the ones I saw on the forums from whatever sponsor it was were old and soft compound.
