Yo,



Yokohama AVS Intermediates: 205/55-16

Too bad they don't make 'em any more. I will probably try the Falken Azenis next, it's almost a race tire.

Front 215/45/16 Falken Azenis . Rear whatever is cheap at the local used tire place .

The Azenis are definately probally the best tire out right now IMO . Great grip , lateral acceleration . Just does everything well . Even does decent in the rain .

My next tires will definately be the same .

I'm running Sumitomo (sp?) 225/50/15 all the way around on stock GXL rims. Run 28-30 PSI i love them, great in the rain, and grip well when dry (dont roll over) even though i would like to get slightly wider rims... maybe 7 inch?

You will be amazed!

I'm running 28 in front & 26 in back in cheap but good Kuhmo 225/50-15's
i agree, i have toyo proxies 205/40 ZR 17's at about 27 psi and they stick like glue

I am running Pirelli P-Zero Asymmetricos 215/45/17s all around. They stick incredibly well! For street driving I take corners at mach1 and rag on my car all day long every day and they have held up surprisingly well.

They are not for softies though.....I feel EVERY bump in the road with a 15 year old 98,000 mile stock suspension. I can't imagine how many of my vertebrae I would kick out of my back with a stiff aftermarket suspension!

Check out http://www.fafracing.com/ and click on the 88 GTU for pics of my car with the k1s and Pirellis.

right now: BF Goodrich Comp T/As. They're decent, but at $196/tire, they better better be!

Soon: Falkens. Sticky + Cheap.

As far as A032Rs are concerened.. r compound tires are not for street use... unless you like your car to sound like a mud bogger and your tires to harden and turn to crap in about 2 weeks...
