|
|
Well i made the mistake last year of buying some nankang NS2's 300.00 shipped to my door! Not bad for everyday driving but, Horrible for traction!
As most of you's seen i went to the track and through out the day my best 60ft was a 2.2258.
I know a 60ft has alot to do with driving. But having cheapo tires doesnt make it easy!
So please any input on a great SUMMER ONLY/Track Tire
Current tire size is 215-40-18 +45 offset so i can bump up to 225's
Was looking into the nitto Invo!

| hey i work at discount tire so fortunately i get to test drive lot's of diff brands. step up to the 225's for sure! from there i'd look into either the yokohama s-drives which i currently run on my tc. the bfg kdw, or the toyo proxes. anyone of those three in my opinion will get you the best performance |

| i switched from Nankangs to Kumho Ecsta SPT's and love em! Night and day difference. Even for driving around in the Nankangs, they sucked! You get what you pay for. |

| Just got some 555's and they're a lot better than may old Neo Gens. I can only imagine the Invos are pretty badass as well |

| i got some kdws mounted up, awesome in turns, suck for straight aways, the sidewals are too stiff to allow it to wrinkle and hook like other tires out there. but its whatever, bout to pick up a set of rota slipstreams in 16s to race on, so ill be able to put a sick set of tires on those |
