Looking at picking up some new tires for my summer wheels. Tread life I don’t care about. The car will see the drag strip ~10 times next season or so, so I’m going to need some decent traction. Wet weather is a plus, but not necessary. Last year I ran yokohama parada spec-2’s and loved them, but then again it was a 90hp civic, so I never had traction issues. I’m looking into these tires again, or going up to the Yokohama AVS ES100, any thoughts?
Tire size is 205/45-16, and lets keep it under $100 per tire.
I got about 300 miles on my falcon azenis 615’s and I love them. they are only soposed to last about 10-15K though so they wont last long. very sticky though.
DO NOT TRY DRIVING IN TEH SNOW WITH THESE you will die. that is all
not only that, but what car? if its gonna see the drag strip alot, and u dont care abotu weat weather perforamnce or longevity why not pickup drag radials?
need to go 205s because its a civic, and from what i’ve read, 215’s require fender rolling, correct me if I’m wrong. also, from those tires that were posted only the hankook’s come in 205/45’s.
300hp plus needs drag radials…dang. Is it ok to have drag radials up front, and something like the parada spec 2 in the rear? Would I run into any handling issues if say I auto-xed the car this summer (somewhat unlikely, but the possibility is there I suppose).
Andy’s car has run 235s before (although Hoosier 225s are just as wide). You shouldn’t have to roll the fenders, but what if you do, it takes 30 secs.
Then run a different aspect ratio, all it’s going to do is change your gearing a little. Or better yet get 215s or 225s…
Yes, you would run into issues if you auto-Xed with DRs in the front. DRs have a low cornering stiffness to improve longitudinal acceleration. If you thought FWDs handled bad to begin with…
