Tires?
 
Its about time for me to purchase some new tires for the summer. Wondering what everyone else with a turbo/supercharger are running as far as tires.

Whatever the purpose may be.. whether its track/daily driver/weekend warrior
Wondering what everyone is buying

Its no secret that with a turbo traction becomes a serious issue.. and the #1 "cure" is tires. But some either cant afford or dont have the tools to have a set of track wheels/tires and a daily driver set.

Just wondering what everyone is doing.


I might be doing the same thing I did last year and running 225 Falken Azenis all the time. Might look into some BFGoodrich tires.

I am using BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT 225/45R-17, on stock rims. (Dezod turbo)

watching.. I have toyo proxes that I need to test w/ my turbo, i wonder how much they hold.. Maybe I would try some Nitto invo after my proxes 4

I have the 18" proxies and they rock. :) I could shred the stock 17's (yoko's) all day with the s/c, but the proxies want to really catch. I love em!

I use a set of Potenza Re070's that I purchased used from a buddies STI. These are available quite often for fairly cheap used and they stick like glue. I think they are way better than the Azenis which are known to get "greasy" when hot.
