New to the FD and just want to find out if I should go with larger tires in the back vs. the same all around? I wanted to keep the tires in 17's due to the rid, and a low profile. Just unsure about going bigger in the back. Thanks!

How much horsepower are you making?

 

Well I am buy the FD here in a few days/week so?
The mod list is as follows:
-Tokico 5 way adjustables
-Pettit toe links & trailing arms
-B&M short throw shifter
-Autometer boost, water temp, air/fuel ratio, oil pressure gauges
-Silicone vacuum hoses
-GReddy Trust cat-back
-GReddy Airnix intake
-Blitz SMIC
-aftermarket downpipe
-M2 performance ast elimination
-M2 performance stage 3 ECU
-245/45 Dunlop SP5000s on all corners

 

Before you make such a decision, i'd run your car with the current set up for a while, maybe even try a local club auto-x or something, then assess how you feel about the balance...

 

I would also suggest ditching the all season tires first. If you have to drive in winter weather, buy some dedicated snow tires. In the non-snow seasons, you should be running higher performance rubber.

 

any suggestions on what snow tires to run on stock rims, only for winter.

 

I don't have an RX-7 but i have Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50's on my car and it handles like it's on rails in the snow. Great tires.

 

If your car FWD?

 

Give tire rack a call. Several companies make tires that handle snow (but not ice) but still have good dry pavement traction. Pirelli, Dunlop, etc.
