Tires
The spec tire is the Nankang AR-1 Semi Slick. Depending on track surface you should get 4-6 competitive days from a set. Owners have seen as many as 35 heat cycles from this tire before serious degradation, depending on alignment. Many compare it to a Hoosier on its 3rd heat cycle, which is incredible performance and longevity for the cost!
Tires can be ordered directly from RAW or from your dealer. The sizes are:
Tire Pressures
Section titled “Tire Pressures”Starting pressures vary by ambient temperature and driving style. These are community-tested starting points:
Nankang AR-1 (spec tire):
- Cold: 18–20 psi front, 18–20 psi rear
- Target hot: 26–28 psi front and rear
- Adjust cold pressure to hit target hot pressure at your track
Hoosier R7 (alternate):
- Maximum hot pressure: 24 psi
- Cold starting point: 17 psi has worked well for many drivers
Hankook slicks:
- Treat similarly to Hoosier. A growing number of owners prefer these over Hoosiers at lower cost.
Monitor tire temps across the surface (inside / middle / outside) to diagnose alignment and pressure issues.
