That’s what we are here for!

I think an A052 would also fit your needs for hill climb. The CRS is right there on pace, however it is just slightly behind. If you are looking for a longer distance tire the CRS has a bit more heat capacity and will fade less during the run.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the wonderful praise. We will always treat people like the way we want to be treated. We are racers ourselves!

Glad you enjoyed it

Awesome! Keep pumping out PB's!

We have had plenty of clients drive them in the rain without issues. They aren’t like a 100 treadwear semi-slick. Those are very sketchy in the rain. Thank you for the kind words on our videos.

Contact us when you are ready!

Thanks! Will do!

Autocross drivers love their A052!

Seems like you need something closer to an A052!

Check out our last video review as we cover the RS4 there!

In that size I would try the Yokohama A052.

Not the fastest, but is consistent after it warms up and is a good compromise between street and track

The rear size available to you would be a 295/40/18. Hot pressure targets should be in the mid to high 30’s depending on the setup. Use a pyrometer to tell for sure.

What's the usage? Autocross? HPDE? Time Attack? Endurance?

Some street and strip runs.

Out of the ones here, I would pick the Sport R. They have been proven as a drift tire in Formula Drift. The 275/35/18 will also run wide as a 285 in most other tires.

Thanks for getting back to me. I’ll definitely reach out when I’m ready to purchase.

No they are not. All sizes are available on our website! Our Fall sale is going on now so order here to save! trueperformancemotorsport.com/products/nexen-nfera-sport-r

Because of the tread splicing issues, it's been hard for us to recommend these tires now.

@@TPMparts Thank you for the information.

It depends on your size but a lot of common sizes will be 245-265 in the front and 315 in the rear.

@@TPMparts correct will be 245/35/19 front and 305/30/19 but don’t know what brand and tire model to choose…

Give us a call at 949-444-2199 and we’ll help get you set up!

Grab a set off our website and we can ship them to you.

I'd run nankangs on that car in the summer

Our autocross and endurance clients have tested the Nexen to be the best in the hotter climates. It stays the most consistent while lasting longer in the hot conditions compared to it’s counterparts.

As a fellow Focus RS autocrosser, I am leaning towards the RE71RS right now as well. HOWEVER, I do run in STU with KW Clubsports with about -3° of camber in the front and -2° in the rear. I've been running the CR-S's for a while now, and they are taking longer and longer to heat up during my sessions. So much so that they never really come up to optimal temperature during my 4 timed runs, which is why I'm switching. I think regardless of whatever tire you choose to go with, you're going to chew up the outer tread pretty quickly. That's what happened when I was running the OG RE71R with no camber adjustability. I was running the KW DDC coilovers before the Clubsports, and even with -1.7° up front from the slight drop, I was chewing through the outer treads. That's why I switched coilovers. This car is just too front heavy, so it'll destroy the outside of any tire without proper camber up front. If I were you, I'd at least install camber and toe arms in the rear to rotate and make them last as long as possible.

Mickey Thompson’s are drag tires and the Vezda is a drift tire. Depends on your use! Give us a call at 949-444-2199 if you want some in depth detail on them.

@@TPMparts thanks man i definitely will give you a shout, i don't actually drag or even race for that matter but my car has 3.91 gears and a 3400 converter so mainly need something that makes it stick better while i am getting from point A-B. My employer carries the Kendas and unfortunately while we do sell Mickey brand we dont carry the car line, however we do stock the Nitto 555r2 and nto5. Maybe going overboard but as stated its a spare wheel set i have laying around.

@@johncrankshaft2886 Going with a drag radial will definitely give you the best grip in a straight line!

They are definitely not as quick. I wouldn't even put them in the top 10 with all the amazing new tires that have been released in the last year or two. Also, they have tread splicing issues as well and sometimes the sidewalls will be have separation issues new from the factory.

That’s correct.

You have the fastest tire! It comes in a lot of sizes as well so I’m sure the MX5 is happy!

michelin PS cup 2 is 180 TW and performs better than A052 no?

@@fen1xpro Absolutely not, unelss it's a Cup 2 R.

What you can say about cup 2 connect 240 TW vs Nankang CRS ?@@TPMparts

Atturo has a great option. Call us and we can help set you up

However if the tire is too soft and doesn't carry the weight of the EV, it will not perform to the optimal level. It would be better to get a balance of your needs.

@@TPMparts (go for all the grip in the world )

In most cases the A052 is still quicker.

@@TPMparts thank you for your sharing! Can I ask one more question, if I am running a 295 A052 on a 10.5 wheel with around 2800 lbs fully loaded including driver, would this be worse than a 265?

It depends what you are looking to achieve. The 295 will get more heat capacity, peak lateral grip and longevity out of the tire. If you are looking for more response and feedback out of the tire you will probably find the 265 does better on the 10.5. Each size and setup needs to be tested with the specific car to determine what is better or worse.

71RS is honestly the best overall doesn’t have big cons like the A052 and is still very fast in both dry and wet conditions👌🏽

Depends on the car, setup, driving style, etc. use a pyrometer to tell for sure. They usually like higher than normal pressures compared to other tires.

@@TPMparts it's a stock 370z with coilovers. Why higher pressures? Is it because of the soft side walls? Maybe this is the only review for the n'fera R on the Internet so far. Hope to see more reviews from tpm also soon.

@@ZJE85 There's no one right answer because no two cars are alike. Chalk your sidewalls and pay attention to how much or little you're rolling onto your sidewalls in each session. Increase or decrease pressure accordingly until you're using the full width of the tire tread without touching the sidewall.

Many 200 treadwear tires will work better with higher pressure.

@@TPMparts I think the n'fera R (as per my experience on my 370z) are more stable on higher pressures (32psi) I tried the 25 psi and were terrible, tyre sides felt like rolling over itself and undesteering

We will aim to get a test bed for our next videos!

Should we make a 100 treadwear and lower video?

None of these. A drag radial would be best.

The AD09 is not one of the fastest.

Unfortunately it isn’t close to the top 5 in pace so we didn’t cover it. That most likely makes it a little bit less popular.

@@TPMpartsCUP2 R is an insanely fast tyre

The Cup2 R is very fast and Nürburgring records prove it. However it is a different category of these tires reviewed.

Unfortunately it’s not a top 5 tire. Tire technology has eclipsed the Supercar 3 in the last few years.

Also doesn't come in 17s

​@@TPMparts the supercar 3r on on zl1 1le is still about the fastest tire you can put on a car besides a slick. Faster than a052, new crs, and even the old kumho acr. The regular supercar 3 is still a great tire though.

The AD09 wasn’t one of the fastest, but they do last a while with a good balance of street and track performance.

@@TPMparts yes i know this but i thought it needed a mentioned being 200 TW

Unfortunately only the more popular sides were made.

Which cut? It's the first tire he covers at 1:16

It made the cut. Check it out the video again.

They don't have a 200tw tire. This video (as stated in the title) is only comparing 200tw tires

Michelin doesn’t have a top 5 tire in this category.

It might be more relevant to drag radials vs track tires.

Tires can also steer... what counts here would be lap time comparison on exact vehicle/setup

More interested in street tires for doing dig racing while being a daily driver. I can't find any channel that test traction but instead lap times.

@@JonR35 What does drag racing benefit from? Softer and bigger sidewall and really soft and sticky rubber. That's about it. The delta run to run is going to be as high as the difference between the tires really as most folks are simply relying upon the car computer to do the launch/drive the car for them anyway. If it really matters to you for some reason then run the smallest rim you can that clears your brakes, the biggest sidewall you can fit, softest compound you can find and the lowest safe pressure. That's about it as drag tire attributes don't pair well with what makes a good overall tire for the street that handles, accelerates and brakes well. Especially when we're literally talking about maybe 2/10ths of a difference in the 60ft times between any tires within similar category

Bridgestone will always be my choice.

It wasn't in the top 5 fastest, so we didn't feature them.

Where did it rank in speed and longevity?

Tough to tell since we didn't compare all tires in the market. Longevity we have had mixed reviews on them, so we can't say for sure as well.

@@eric.frasch the v730 has great longevity and is perfect for a daily so you can have a tire that can handle anything you can throw at it. For the price, performance and longevity it is one hell of a bath and personally I like it more than the rt660 for that. It isn’t loud on the road but it does sacrifice wet performance. Sidewall is very stiff so it responds quickly. I’m running a set for this year and my buddy had a set last year and he planing to get another set. I don’t know if they are the fastest but I didn’t have trouble keeping up with the RT660s and RE71rs tires in my class, actually I have had “fastest in class” twice this year. The tire is definitely a contender. At the end of the day driver skill is going to be the limiting factor anyways, so saying anyone of these tires is better than another is just splitting hairs.

@@postalpancho Ya, I have been loving my V730 for the price, longevity and still being able to be a contender occasionally.
