So I am in the market for some tires, and I am finding the same tire in different compounds. This will be my first investment into slicks. My car will be making in the range of 800+ whp, and I hope to be in the mid 9's. I live in Idaho, and will be traveling to the nearby tracks, if that makes any difference. My Question is, what compound is a good all around compound? I know there are recommendations on some sites, and descriptions, but what is working for you guys?

 

M&H or MTs they are both good tires. Are you going to running 13s or 15s

 

I know what brands are good, but is there a better compound than another?

 

Both have their fans, I can say from my experience, that John @ M&H goes above and beyond with customer service.

 

I hadn't actually thought of going manufacturer direct, and speaking with someone. Wondering if there were any far and above the rest.

 

john at m&h is a great guy to talk to. loved my 235/60s and still love my 25" slicks.

 

do you happen to know what compound you have?

 

What compound do you think you need ? Three not many options with a small tire

 

Well that is kind of the point of the thread. To help us that dont know what some of the abbreviations mean. $1000 is a lot of money to toss at a set of tires, just to have them not be what I want. if there are far better ones for the same price, why not?
