Which Tires should I get

FajjaSTI · 10-23-2006, 02:39 PM

Like the Title says.. I have 3 options..

I have used the RE070's and they are great. Second set was the RT 615..also a great tire but not as stiff of a sidewall. I got 20k out of each set.

RT 615 is now available for $108 at Vulcan for the 225/45/17
RE 070 @ Tireraack for $185 for 225/45/17
Advan Neova AD07 for $185 at Vulcan for 225/45 or 235/40/17

last option is the 245/45/17 RT 615 which I think will have softer sidewall/squishy feel.

My current RT615 are almost gone plus I found a nail in the front left yesterday at laguna seca..I'll post videos and pictures soon.

Thanks to all that contribute to this...

Potenza RE070.

why dont you try theese? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....el=Exclaim+UHP i have them and absolutely love them. i almost couldnt believe it because of the price. they hold up great in rain and dry wether. i havnt had a chance to try them out in snow yet, but ive heard from a few other people who have them and they said theyre pretty good in anything under a 8 or 9 inches of snow. after that, they still do their thing, its just a little more un predictable.

Buy a set of low mileage RE070s takeoffs from someone on here or NASIOC.

Advan 046s (Stock Evo tire) takeoffs would be nice too. I'll probably start hunting for a set of STi or Evo takeoffs soon.

FajjaSTI · 10-27-2006, 08:33 PM

thanks for the advice guys..kts..im already looking for takeoffs with less than 4k..or ones that haven't been riden on auto x. still looking.. you think $500 shipped is a good deal for ones with 3k or less.

**spazegun2213** · 10-27-2006, 09:18 PM

what about RE 70 take offs? you can find them for 300 a SET!

AndrewSS · 10-27-2006, 11:01 PM

re070 take offs are always a good decision

cheap

Web_Foot_STi · 10-28-2006, 04:31 AM

God bless take offs.

Just put on a set last weekend. Like new.

In this case stock doesn't suck. It's damb hard to beat.

Clarque · 10-28-2006, 04:43 AM

Falken RT-615 are the best tires I have ever had... I even ran the advans from the evos and they didnt compare. RT-615 FTW. hands down.

How about Yoko take offs for $600 shipped with less than 1k miles? 235/45.. Guys opinions..

thanks

rev_happy_sti · 10-31-2006, 12:16 AM

I have 245/45/17 RT615's and the sidewall is not soft at all. It actually has a reinforced sidewall. 255/40's on the other hand are a little bit soft.

Sonicbooost · 11-01-2006, 11:34 AM

I think 500 is a good price for some RE070 take-off's if you pay shipping
