New shoes for HDPE

Dbcgolf1 · 08-04-2021, 06:00 PM

Hey Folks,
Looking to get new tires for my E90 M3. Primary purpose in HPDE, some autox and some street driving. Currently running Dunlop Direzza ZII - no complaints.

What would you get? Price difference is $467 between the ZIII and Falken RT615k. What are your experiences with these?

Dunlop Direzza ZIII
Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar3
Falken Azenis RT660
Falken Azenis RT615K

Thanks,
Dave

Running the Supercar 3's on my GT4, very similar to the Cup 2's I had but should wear better and not heat cycle out as quick.

There is a huge difference between Supercar 3 and Supercar 3R. The 3R is a track tire. The 3 is a street tire. 3R has a ton more grip.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
