**Vitour Enzo V-01R Review — 295/30ZR18 on Project Dagger**
For Dagger, we wanted a tire that fit the actual purpose of the car: mostly street driven, but still capable of occasional autocross and HPDE use.
We didn’t want to spend Super 200TW money on a tire that would mainly see street miles, so we chose the Vitour Enzo V-01R. It carries a 300TW rating, has an aggressive tread pattern, and is advertised as a longer-lasting track day capable tire.
Our first test started before we ever got on course: 760 miles from Tampa to Bowling Green through sunshine, rough roads, fresh pavement, torrential rain, and standing water.
For how aggressive the tread looks, the tire is surprisingly quiet. No highway howl, no drone, and in heavy rain the car stayed composed. Hydroplaning was never a major concern.
Fitment note: these run a little narrow for a 295. They fit fine on our 18x11 Weld Laguna wheels, but would also be right at home on a 10-inch wheel.
On course, they impressed us. Dagger has street-friendly spring rates and a mild alignment: roughly -1° camber, 6.2° caster, and 1/16 toe in. We started around 34 PSI and ended with 30 PSI.
The first lap had some minor cold-tire push on entry and slight oversteer on exit, but once they had heat, that went away. The tire felt predictable, gave good feedback, and kept working.
With three hot laps per autocross session, our fastest lap came on the third lap every time. They handled heat well and did not fall off quickly.
Day two was wet. They were about 3 seconds off our dry pace, but still predictable and confidence-inspiring.
After the event, we drove back to Tampa through more rain, standing water, rough roads, and Atlanta traffic. The tires did not get louder, showed good wear, and handled the full trip without issue.
Total test: 1,600 street miles, 20 autocross laps, wet and dry conditions, highway, rain, traffic, and track use.
Overall, these may be one of the best budget performance tires on the market right now. They won’t outrun the top Super 200TW tires, but for a street car that sees occasional autocross or track use, they get surprisingly close while costing roughly $100–$150 less per tire in this size.
