Recommendation on tires???
Right now im trying to decide which tires would be better. im looking at the BFGoodrich G-Force KDW or Toyo T-1s ... or what Tires have you guys found to be a good tire ?

BFGoodrich g-force KD is what I ahve and I have never seen a better tire on any car, stiffest sidewalls and amazing dry traction go so fast around corners its scary, be prepared to swap em or hang up the keys to the RX in the winter tho as they don't do good in the cold

Advan 032R are awesome DRY ONLY tires. In a 17 you can get them for around 159 each on Tire rack. Haven't tried the TA..The T1-R I have on my Element and they do really well...Had the T1-S on the 7..ok for about 5 laps then pppppppppplllllllttttttt. They are awesome rain tires however. I still have my T1-S...700 miles on them on a set of Panasport (spell?) racing wheels......hmmmmm 225/40/16...Actually took the Element out to PIR because I had paid for the session day and go figure..the 7 was down at the time!! I don't think even slicks could have made a difference, but it was funny anyway!!

Huh, I like my Toyo T1-S, but I really havent pushed them much. My preference is Bridgestone Potenza S03's. Thats what I had on my Corrado, and gawd damn were they nice. Awsome dry, and very good wet traction. Very balanced.

I run Yokohama AVS ES 100's on my 3 which have really sweet WET and DRY traction and through America's tire they are pretty cheap. I haven't been able to run them really hard on the track yet but they seem to hold up so far. Way better than the stupi P.O.S. Goodyear RSA's that come stock

Asphalt you subtract 13 degrees from the road temperature and add 3,679,087 after all the other calculations. That would put you OVER 2 billion times better on asphalt! You can thank Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein for the formula and Import Tuner for publishing it... Otherwise I wouldn't have such accurate numbers to provide as evidence that Toyo tires REALLY suck....

You won't believe this, but the Fuzion ZRi have proven to be an excellent street tire and they hold up pretty good on the road coarse. The unbelieveable part is the tires are like $100 for a 255/40/17 at discount tire.
They are nearly silent in turns too.
