I raced around with my friends ZX-R today and found something interesting. I lent him my OT-66 tyres on Optima Mid rims, and i used Proline M3s. on hard packed surface like cement, the M3s were a little better. But on the grass and loose pebbled sand, I was eating his dust ! Everytime i punched the gas out of a corner, my rear end swung around, wasting precious time, and everytime i tried going into a corner, i understeered. But my friend with his OT-66 equiped ZX-R just shot off with traction and lots of steering without loosing control ! These tyres are worth a try at my local track the next time i am there. i placed them on my MID and it handled with almost perfect traction and more steering. in fact on the grass, i almost traction rolled a few times. Here is some pic my buddy took of his ZX-R with my rims and tyres.
