BoxerGT2.5 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Very similar to the Toyo T1-S. Get whatever tire is rated better and/or cheaper. :) If your lookin for good wet traction take a look at the BFGoodrich KDW2. OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America!

Xenonk Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Toyo T1-S.. but here are my summer tires (seriously): [url]http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=ADVAN+A048[/url] and [url]http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Dunlop&tireModel=SP+Super+Sport+Race[/url] Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 I like the T1-S, looks exactly like the one's I found. The other two are way too track oriented. You'd fly off the highway in the rain. My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euclid Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Get Kumho MX's.. they're a lot less expensive, and freaking rule.

You'd fly off the highway in the rain.[/QUOTE] I've been on the track in the rain with both of those tires, and they perform very well and held their speeds at 120 mph down the backstretch and 60 mph tight-sweepers far better than my T1-S.. The grooves/sipes are there to divert the water, the compound is still sticky enough for even rain use (provided at full tread or just over 1/2 tread). Dont be fooled because it's a dedicated track tire. It's still DOT-approved. It's just that they are really sticky, the wear down fast, and you shouldn't drive on any tire past the wear bar for safety reasons (while being the crazy guy that I am, I usually drive the car until the wear bar is worn down as well). Keefe T1-S are the lightest tires around. It's a good thing ;) Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also go with larger sized tires that can still fit on a stock rim.. just as long as your overall tire diameter is within the 2% tolerance of the stock tire overall diameter.
