As track day junkies, we’re always excited to scope out new options for major consumables. Run enough laps, and you burn through tires quickly–especially if you opt for the stickiest rubber so you can hang with the big boys on track. For about the last year, Maxxis has been quietly making the RC-1 Victra in a few choice sizes, and …
How do you rate the grip level compared to the NT-01 and Toyo RR?
I'll follow Keith and ask how you'd rate the grip when compared to Hankook Z 214 C71's ?
thanks
Looks like I'm going to have to break down and upgrade to 15" on my 99 Miata. All the better tires don't come in 14" anymore.
I would think NT01's are more than 0.4 seconds faster than the Yokohama AD08R, so this is a bit concerning. Hopefully the only variable wasn't the tires... 
Anyone else have some experience with these? I'd be interested to read some more reviews.
In reply to wbjones:
The C71 is the autocross compound, so I would assume they are not as grippy, not as fast to warm up, as that. I believe the C51 is the track compound. I could easily be mistaken, however.
I've got these on my miata. I will let you know how they autocross after may 9th but I know a few guys using them. The consensus was they are better than NT01s when more heat is involved

you are correct … but just as Civic, Miata, and CRX drivers can run Hoosier A6's on the track, so can the C71 compound be so used
alas, they don't come in my size
