Tire Questions

I am using yokohama as430 right now on my 93 RX-7, though they are r rated, I am not too thrilled with them. If I stomp the gas in 1st or 2nd I will just light them up. I am looking at some new tires like Yokohama AVS ES100, Nitto NT555, or Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Matt

What type of BFG's do you suggest for a daily driver, but weekend autocrosser?

Well I think the car heard me talking about tires, and today down the interstate it found a screw and tore up the tire. Firestone says to run it, but I don't feel too good about it. Beside they rotated the tires on the car for whatever reason and not only did they over torque the lugs, but they crossed the back to the front. Not good with a directional.

Anyway, I am at an impass. Eagle F1's, Azenis RT615's, or Potenza RE-01R's
