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.

 

S/C

BFgoodrich KDW 2 G-force 225/40/18

love them

 

BF Goodrich KDW T/A g-Force ( 225/40/18 )

love em... buy em... and no im not biased :D

 

the drag radial or the r1 radial? edit nevermind saw the KDW haha

yea KDW were my 2nd choice.. I wanna try out something different so ill probably get em. And they look sick

 

225/40/18 Fuzion ZRi. They are the old potenza re 750s. True story.

 

bump. im going to be buying tires soon as well.
post up your tires people

 

anyone heard good things or anything about Hankook's Ventus R-S2 Z212. looks sorta like azenis, sticky too.

 

Go to TireRack.com, they have tires and MANY reviews. Heck, they even have a scoring on them.

 

gotcha
your right, great site

 

the hankook ventus suck. zero grip. i have the BF Goodrich kdw 2 225/40/18. awesome grip, but when they are cold its a different story. their the best tires i have had so far. next im gonna try the goodyear rsa's

 

Im telling you ZRi's...... They seem to be handling the boost of my car....

 

Your getting good traction with Fuzion ZRi's? Compared to what other tires

 

anyone ever dealt with www.tires-easy.com? i found falken fk 452 in 245/40/17 for $82.15. i almost cant believe it, i need to know if this place is legit.

 

Kumho 711. <- THOSE ARE CRAP TIRES

 

vulcantire.com has good deals on Falken tires. I bought my azenis there and had good service.
Plan on ordering from tirerack.com

 

this place has some really low prices.... even for my 19's....
