    So I run my 18s for looks to be honest and they dont handle the best thats for sure. I am picking up some R98s to run at the track and dragon. As you know they are 17x7 and I am looking for a good summer tire to stick to the road a little better.

    What are you running? Keep in mind they wont be daily wheels but I dont want an R compound either.

    Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's are even better than their RE-01R's. Re-01R's are near the top in most of the Tirerack's surveys. I have been running the RE-01R's the past few months including down at the Dragon, I love them in both dry and in the wet. Best of luck.
