I just purchased a set of 17" i think 7.5's and i wnat to replace the tires with something a bit more sticky. what size tires would you guys suggest. i was thinking 225/45 but if you guys have a suggestion please let me know. Better yet if you have a set of 4 cash in hand haha.
you can go up to 235/45 for a bit more sidewall and longer gearing. I would do bridgestone re11 or dunlop z1 starspecs depending on your budget
i run 225/45 for my DD set, 255/45 for my track set. I don't think you really need anything bigger than 225 if you don't plan on tracking / auto-x. However, the neova's scott's mentioning are one of the best tires, they're what I use for my track set.
As mentioned above, you really don't need anything wider than 225, unless you track or autox the car. I just got some of the Yokohama AD07's and they are great; I think they are on closeout right now.
^^^ I'm running those right now as my DD set...not to bad, but uber turds compared to my re070s and neovas
cool, i ordered a set today actually. hoping they hold up to lots of DD stuff and the occasional autocross. my FK452's are almost gone and were pretty darn good for their wear rating. i'd recommend that tire for sure. pretty much anything must feel like junk after running RE070's or neovas!
Ditto on the Bridgestone RE-11. Buddy just put them on his wife's 911 and it transformed the handling of the car. Feff
i just put a set of the new bridgestone re-11's on my 05 sti 235/40/17 they are absolutely amazing blows my old kumho mx's out of the water
