I currently have two summer set-ups
Both are F235/40R18, R255/35R18, on 8" & 8.5" OEM wheels.
-3.2 front camber, -2.0 rear camber
Hankook RS4
Decent grip, but they can take a lot of punishment.
I use them both street & track
Nankang AR1
Following instruction from my tire guy, I heat-cylcled these by doing a 25-minute track session, then resting them for a day.
Grip is better than the Hankook.
I would say the heat tolerance is more like a B or B+ if they are heat-cylced.
Road noise is absolutely terrible. Track only, but fine to drive to and from the track.
Other Options
Conti Force
Looks like an improvement on the Hankook, same characteristics with better pace. Will need wider rims.
Falken RT660
Solid B-rating across the board, so this should be a balanced compromise for both street & track.
Eagle F1 SuperCar 3
This seems to be similar the Falken, with better wear rating. Will need wider rims.
Eagle F1 SuperCar 3R
This looks to be a superb choice, except for wet.
Again, need wider rims
