Eagle F1 GS-D3's are the shiznit.

Mad expensive though...~200+/tire...

 

My budget is $250 a tire. I got a deal on my front two tires. $200.00 for both. I just need two more. Yeah, yeah. I should match all four, but I don't have the money right now.

 

big CA mortage payments

 

btw, I'm thinking of going to a 40 series tire to help traction a little, have you been running 265/40s?

 

Yup, my mortgage sucks ***. I wish I would have purchased a home three years before I bought this one. My payments would have been half of what they are now, but I was in school and I couldn't afford anything at that time.

I have been running 245 40 R18s and the car has good traction, but 265 is the "correct" size for the wheels I have on right now.

 

Correct tire sizes for an RX-7 in 18" are 235/40, 245/35, 255/35, 265/35, 275/35, 285/30, 295/30.....

265/40 is over an inch taller in diameter than stock.....

 

He doesnt have an FD. He has the other car that breaks all the time... rhymes with ord uh-stang

 

In that case, go find some of those old Bridgestones that they used on the Ford Exploders

.......juuust kidding.

 

It breaks less than yours

 

How do the BFG KDWs compare with Michelin Pilot Sports, running those right now and need new tires...

 

Tire Rack has the PS2 in the Max performance summer category, where it's #2 out of 23 tires.

They have the KDW2 one tier lower, in Ultra High Performance summer category, where it's #3 out of 46.

They said the new Toyos were better than the old ones, too.

I had a little fun late last night on Hwy 17 (Hwy17's twisty, wet and pretty high speed...55-75 mph)...some guys in an SVT Focus and a 350z were going at it and passed me, ricer-fly-by-style. The road was otherwise empty, I know it like the back of my hand, and I just put in my new SMIC.
lol, like those two guys were in my rearview, The Rest Is History.

Just thought I'd share.

 

hankook rs2 are very well priced and grip better in dry than kdw2 i believe. I want to buy them for my car, anyone have any experience with them?

 

Bridgestone RE-01R, 0.99 G's in the dry, 0.84 G's in the wet. I had them and I could not break them loose no matter how hard i tried, though i have a N/A FC. Great for road noise too. The only problem is treadwear 140.

Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD07, 0.98 G's in the dry, 0.83 G's in the wet, best performing tire in terms of lap times, treadwear 180.

 

I'm willing to sacrafice some handling to hook up better, thinking of going with 255/40/18s (KDW2)
