XComp H/P Tires

After almost a year of running these XComp HP tires and I must say, theyre one of the best bargains in the 200tw market. They actually get better with mileage. They wear like iron and have consistent performance lap after lap even a year later. Only con is a soft sidewall compared to the other tires on the market but for their price and how long they last, its hard to beat these tires. They may be a couple of seconds behind some of the top 200tw tires but if youre after a consistent tire that can do a ton of track days then these may be for you.

My car has minor mods to include a JLT intake, carback, and tune. Car put down 747 to the wheels. These tires allow me to roll into it hard in first if I’m already rolling around 30mph. 1st and 2nd both hook and they don’t make anywhere near the noise a R888R makes. I will buy again for sure

To contest and inform, what Karlie said below. These tires are designed and built for the track. Canyon driving has varying surfaces that are not necessarily conducive to a "track tire". Track tires work in conjunction with track specific surfaces. Regular street surfaces and parking lots are just that, basic and usually cheap made surfaces, whereas track specific surfaces are designed to work with a track specific tire. With more testing, you would find that you would learn the XComp on the track and get the tire to come to you. Test, test, test! No tire is plug n play!

My biggest complaint with them is at the limit they are slippery. I didn’t feel at all safe on the canyons with them and on track I had to be patient for them to get hot and grip marginally better. They’re not hockey pucks but they seem not to grip as well as a PS4S which is frustrating since these are supposed to be a 200 TW tire. At the limit, they slide out and are quite noisy. On the track, I felt the car had way more in it to grip but I was being held back with the tire slipping out mid corner. The plus to these tires is that they are consistent with multiple hot laps. My plans have changed- I would not take these to autox for competitive times, these I will have to use as a practice tire and focus on seat time.

Cannot go wrong. Had these on my GLA45 AMG and loved the traction and performance. Did not break the bank either. Perfect tire for daily driving in SoCal, and the occasional track day!
