So I need me some new tires before next friday…and Azenis are sold out across zee country in the size I need for the front (235/40/17) So I’m debating over a couple different combos:

#1

2 x Advan AD07s 235/40/17 = $418 from tirerack  
2 x Advan AD07s 255/40/17 = $478 from tirerack

Total: $910

#2

2 x Advan AD07s 235/40/17 = $418 from tirerack  
2 x Advan A048s 255/40/17 = $510 from tirerack

Total: $969

#3

2 x Toyo RA1s 235/40/17 = $344 from edge racing  
2 x Toyo RA1s 255/40/17 = $324 from edge racing

- 2 day for $142 (4 days otherwise)

Total: $810 ($718 if I just do ground)

Any other suggestions?

2 x Advan AD07s 235/40/17 = $418 from tirerack = $400 from Hybrid  
2 x Advan AD07s 255/40/17 = $478 from tirerack = $465 from Hybrid

For comparison purposes if I use up whatever I have left of the AD07s that are on the car now I can get Azenis for:

```
$537.00 Shipped 

```

In late june

Also I don’t know how stupid it would be to run RA1s daily

I’m very happy with these:  
[http://www.edgeracing.com/tire/1527/](http://www.edgeracing.com/tire/1527/)

When warm I’m getting almost no wheelspin standing on the throttle through first. My OEM tires would cause the traction control fits, or the tires to go up in a cloud of smoke if TC was off.

Seemed great at the autocross at ECC-N, and the spirited driving I’ve done around town. I was really worried because they wouldn’t turn at all at the NCCC event, but then I realized it was because the lot was the consistancy of a dirt road.

[/quote]

Having never driven them myself, but knowing people who run them, only mildly stupid. For a race tire, they seem to have great wear, acceptable noise, and decent wet grip. You won’t see the kind of wear characteristics of a pure street tire, and they’ll be noisy and not so great in the wet, especially standing water (as you’d expect,) but they seem to work a lot better on the street than a lot of other choices that give the same dry grip and response.

OT: You can fit bigger tires on an STI on the stock rims. But if you have an aftermarket rim with a different offset, your choices are more limited. I run a 235 on the street, and a 255 on my stock rims for the track.
