Time to get new tires...

[Falken]

Ok guys i have a mk3 supra with mk4 TT wheels, i know that i can get 275/40/17 on the rear and 245/45/17 on the front... but my question is, what are a good kind? i hardly drive my supra, i drive it twice a week...

 

[hvyman]

bridgestone potenza re-11.

 

[Falken]

hmm i like i like... are drag radials good?

 

[JDMMA70]

*edit* just read you drive it twice a week. In that case Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's

 

[Falken]

WoW i checked out them out and they look sexy... i think i found the tire i was looking for. Thanx guyz

Toyo Proxes R1-R's. You live in the right climate for them to be driven on twice a week.

Falken RT615s I hear are great tires for the price.

I love my Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's. They're a really good tire in both the wet and dry, and very sticky.

I loved my Toyo Proxes 4's.

Ive got a set of those on some flat blacked saw blades. Great in the rain, treadwear rating of 320 (i think) so they wont wear out to fast either. Most definatly a very versitile performance tire. Given the location, Id venture to say the T1-R would be a suitable choice, seeing as how California probably doesnt get as much rain as, say the North West for instance. Even the T1-R's are good in wet conditions. 280 treadwear. AA traction and AA temp.

One downfall to the R1-R's I mentioned is the 140 treadwear. But they are stickey as fuck, even in the rain they grip very well at 15 psi.

I second the T1R's as being a really good tire. That's what I have for front tires right now. They're awesome in the wet and dry.

Really, what it comes down to is we need more information.

What's more important to you:
- Tire longevity
- Dry or wet performance
- straight line traction
- cornering traction
- how much power are you trying to stick to the asphalt?

Dunlop Direzza Star Spec's are all the rage in the BMW community. They're a fantastic tire for what they cost, keeping up with many higher priced tires in auto-x, while performing great on the street, especially in the rain, but have serious dry grip as well.

What are these worth Daryl? AND, do they have a DR coming out soon, or did you check on that yet?

How so?

DR is good, I run them but Toyo makes a badass tire too.

I like them just by reading the review!

I meant I like what you were thinking there

I trust my life regularly to my Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's. Their wet traction is very very good.

I'll vouch for these as well, only problem being they don't come in a wide enough footprint for the rear.
