Ken is right. I have the HTR Z IIIs and at the track they felt uneasy. Should have spent the money on the Dunlops instead.

They need to be shaved for track use, I believe. Too much squirm.

tread height taken down to 4/32 of an inch. basically you buy new tires, then do a burnout for about 20 mins untill 3/4 of the treads are gone. switch the fronts to the rear and repeat.


(im just kidding)
