B.E.S.T. Tires for a Rx7
What do you think is the best type of type for a Rx7? My 16 inch Eagle Alloys had falken wheels but the back two went out and i'm kinda running low on money but i can afford what is the best so please tell me what you think.

To get useful reccomendations you need to tell us more about the use. A tire might be great for racing, but terrible in the rain, and wear out quickly, or it might last a long time and be quiet, but not perform that well. So tell us what you want the tire to do, then some useful reccomendations can be made.

I'm on my 2nd set of BFG KDW2's, and when they're toast, I'mma get another set.
Great grip on the dry stuff, and hands down the BEST rain tire I've ever driven on. It's doesn't exactly flash-flood around here, but in moderate rain, they're confidence inspiring in a big way.

yeah azenis are really sticky, i've gove through about 6 sets of them on my cars. i dont run them on the fd though because they get greasy pretty easily. i'm afraid that after a few laps my traction will disappear. on my miata they are ok because its so light and makes no power.
does anyone have experience with rt615's on the track with over 300rwhp? i would like to know how they held up.

here are my choices
Falken Azenia <---------- Almost impossible to beat the Falken line for a sticky street tire
BFG g-force sport <------ I love these tires great grip
Yokohama A032R <----- more of a drag radial with a touch more tread but SUPER STICKY

The FM-901 has been described as a ricer tire, looks good, doesn't perform too well.
You guys are throwing out tire suggestions that are all over the map. The Azenis and the KDW2/g-force sport are not even close to being in the same class. The Azenis will run circles around the KDW2 or g-force sport.

So it's obvious that it won't matter what tire they use since they obviously don't have the knowledge or experience to know the difference, nor the common sense to ask a useful question.

I'm currently running BFG G force KD and love them. Older technology, but they're very stable and grippy on the street, even at 400+ rwhp.
The RE-01Rs look pretty good, but for stock size 225/50/16 they're only available in 'V' speed rating (149 mph), they're not available at all in 245/46/16, and in 17 inch sizes for my Fikses the widest they go is 245? What is Bridgestone thinking?

Well the advan Neova do not come in 275/40/17 so that's out. So I'm thinking of the rt615 or the BF goodrich kd's. I have the Nitto NT-555 and I have nothing but wheel spin when the boost kicks in. In desperate need of something that will stick and launch me forward instead of to the sides.
