#4510, "What kind of tires does everyone have????"


          

Im having problems hookin up. My 0-60 ft time is probably 3 seconds! I need a sticky tire that will last after constant abuse. I want a zr rated because i need to be able to go 140+ on the freeway after a good night of racing. I plan on getting the stock 97-99 gs rims which are 16's.

I have the Toyo FZ4s on right now, they're pretty sticky. I also have a set of T1S's. They're like glue.

Its so hard to buy tires. Theres only so much help you can ask for before you buy a set. Its almost like you have to buy the set and then decide if they were worth buying again. how many miles have you driven on the T1s's? Have they worn unusually bad? Can you get them in ZR rating? I dont see the Toyo tires for sale in any SCC magazines.

I have about 1500 miles on the T1S's. They are 215/45/ZR17s. There's not really any noticible wear yet, but they are soft for street tires. You can buy them at wheelmax.com, check for their most recent pricing. I use the FZ4s for my day to day street driving because they're not nearly as soft.

I have the kumho ecsta supra 712's. 205/55/ZR16....They are great dry or wet. Stick pretty good at the track too. And not to expensive.
