Maxxis ZR9 Victra- any thoughts?

[ripp]

I have asked a friend who sells car parts and stuff for some track day tyres options. Initially I was thinking of federal fz-201 or nankang AR-1 but he's unable to provide those so he told me he could get those ZR9 tyres at a decent price.
They look very similar to toyo's R888 and was curious if anyone tried them?

Are these quite an old tyre? Only ask as I drove a track car round Oulton years ago and was impressed with the grip. Looked and they were maxxis but think it was the ones that were discontinued. They were epic though

Well i guess I could ask about their age and see. But at 70 quit a corner they are tempting

I searched before and found a thread you and I both commented on, 2013 iirc. But they were about the maz1 lol.

I run ado8r's on the road and have used them on track, very good tbh

+1 for the AR1's i run them on my track car, as good if not better than the r888

I'm in in no hurry tbh, winter is coming so I won't rush into a decision unless it's a very good deal.
I've read about the AR1's, the federals and they all do have good reviews.
I could also get A048's at about 82 quid a corner so I have some options to choose from

I have some 15" 6,5J steel rims, would they be ok for track day what do you think? I kinda hate them (they rusted a bit and look daft) but on the other hand buying decent alloys is not that cheap.

I guess you can use them, personally I'd wait and get a set of 0z's or similar. I'm sure there was a lad on here with two sets for not much money, 120 ish
