Even though I’ve never tried them, I said hoosiers. M/T’s are great, but the hoosiers are supposed to be of a softer compound and have a bigger contact patch… They would probably suck more in the rain, but you said TRACK ONLY. ---

I was running Hoosiers on the G35 last w/e in Zeli and even though they are only 225s they were still hooking up pretty damn decent on the slippery-ass runway. ---

my mickeys worked great a lot better than et streets. but i was told the hoosiers are where its at. so now i have a set of hoosiers also keep in mind every driver and track like different combos pewter always liked bfg’s over nittos but guys that go to MIR like Nitttos. your best bet on making a decision is to talk to someone with a similier set and ask them ---

For track only, Mickey’s for sure. For track use and alot of street driving, BFGs. For mostly street driving with a bit of track use, Nittos. I’ve done BFGs and Nittos (I’m now on bias-ply ET streets). ---

Nittos are great, 100 tread wear, fine in the rain, and I have seen 1.6 60’s cut on them. ---
