Best street tire for DE/Track use???

[joseph796]

I want to purchase a set of street tires (with a minimun UTQG rating of 200) for DE events to save my everyday tires. I want to be able to drive to and from the events & run the event with the same tires. Yes, you could theoretically do this with R compound tires but you run a very high chance of picking-up a nail or screw on the way. Any suggestions??

I have a set ready to go and they are for sale. They are essentially new. Std. sizes for the C5. Kuhmo's. They are mounted and balanced already.

I am asking $850+ shipping for the set. I am in VA 24263

I am in the same boat looking. What is the going opinion on the nitto 555 rII. I heard they were good for everyday driving and hook really well. Thoughts.
