Thanks for all the responses guys! I should have clarified more, I am looking for a SUMMER ONLY tire for spirited driving. This car is not my DD. I just wanted something that would last me at least a season or two! So Far these seem to be the the closest to what I am looking for! Thanks Dave!
Either the Zll's or Hankook RS3's then.... Or NT-01's if your OK with only having them last 5000 miles.
What about the Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 or yokohama advan neova ad08 r Also what about size? I will be running them on 17" Breyton GTS-R's till The BBS RGR get bought! The car will be tastefully lowered a touch on coil-overs/with camber plates and adj control arms. Can I get get away with 225/45/17? Or is 215/45/17 the most I can get away with?
I put a solid 5k on my AD08Rs from July-Nov, with who-knows-how-many autocross runs, and they were surprisingly resilient and not too much the worse for wear. They won't last 30k, but if you're looking for a sticky summer tire that wears well and isn't bad in the rain, you really can't go wrong with the Neova.
On my 2003 R53 I had BBS RGR 17x7 et38 with H&R lowering springs (about 1" drop) and 215/40-17 tires. I had rubbing on the rear wheel arch when the suspension was loaded. I had to trim the plastic wheel arch and wheel well liner to eliminate the rubbing. I suggest 215/40 max with the RGR wheels and lowered. In 215/40-17 size I would go with the Dunlap Direzza ZII Star Spec.
Now I must choose. Its down to the Yokohama neova or the dunlop direzza star spec. may just stick with stock sizing...The 45's are already a b^tch to get on and off the rim. Its always a game not scratching them.
Yes I do, that's when I drive it the most. and Savvy :incazzato: Wrong finger but you get the idea -->
Bring it Saturday, ok? Wife's S can use it as a spare. Trust me, she will find a way to render it useless...LOL
