I e been reading The new Nova has a bit of chatter about it. If the car relies solely on mechanical grip and only weighs 1200 lbs. is there a softer compound tire that’s street focused, heats up enough for confident spirited back road driving? Yokohama Advan A052. That's a ZERO after the A. Does not need a bunch of laps of a racetrack to heat up. On ordinary cars, they wear quickly. Not a problem on Sevens. The CSR 260 I bought has Toyo R888 tires on it. Next Spring, they will be heading to recycling. I took the CSR to a few autocross events, a couple regular events and one high-speed event. The guys in tin-tops and Miatas were spraying their tires to cool them. The R888 tires on my CSR were still at ambient temperature and did not give me the traction I was looking for. Because of my experiences with the Yokohama Advan A052 tires on an Elise and some Sevens, I plan to have fresh Yokos on the CSR. On both the Elise and the Sevens, I found them great for both autocross and street. At the high-speed event, I thought I was being conservative, but a worker at the end of the longest straight was calling me "The Late-braking King". He says I was braking much later than the other drivers in the session he was working. That's because those other guys didn't have a Seven... I can hardly wait to get this car set up and on the Yokos. Edited September 23 by pethier 1
