I went to the track this past saturday night and i got a 1.83 60' time with Yokohoma AVS 100's. Is this a good 60' on street tires??

Re: 60' on street tires??

I would die if I got that 60 on street tires at IRP lol.

My best out of three runs so far on 235's was a 2.3...

Yea, anything 2.0 seconds or less on street tires is good. My best is a 1.8, with my stock GSC's.

Re: 60' on street tires??

It is a very good time on street tires. I've done several 1.8s on kuhmos with a best of 1.85. I assume you have a stock clutch. After I changed my clutch to the Mcloed, the best I can manage now is 1.95 on nittos. Without the ability to slip the clutch, it's very difficult to get those 60s on street tires.

My best 60' on street tires was 2.02. So yea, your 1.8 is extremely good. Considering I got 1.76 with my E/T Streets a couple weeks ago.

Re: 60' on street tires??

I ran consistent 2.0 60' times on my old Sumitiomos(all season) with 1/4 tread left. They were actually a very sticky tire, stickier than those POS Kuhmo Estica summer tires I currently have. I haven't been to the track with the new tires yet. Right now the Kuhmos break loose when I stomp on it at 30mph and it shifts down to 1st.

See my reply above yours? That 2.02 was on Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 711s. Yea, the CHEAP $50 tire.

Re: 60' on street tires??

I have gone 1.8s on Kuhmo 712s, thats flashing the converterright out the hole off a foot brake. That night the track had bad *** prep, usally though, with the converter I'm lucky to see a 2.1 at best
