fowler!

Why would you want those tires? They are for track use only. If you aren't going to track your car, there is no point in wasting a perfectly good set of tires on the street.

Mr.Sha007

who said i dont track?

Actually they are ok on the streets. I wouldn`t drive in a storm, but if the streets are dry, they are pretty damn sticky. I`m speaking of the a032r`s.

Mr.Sha007

i checked out the sites given, i couldnt find anything, can i get them localy? what is the prices. i need a set to fit 15x7's

TireRack sells A032R's... the people sending you to Godspeed or A&J are probably talking about the A038... a "better" tire.

Personally, I think Azenis are close enough... especially considering you can get two sets for the cost of one set of Advans... that said, I own a set of each.

i think you want yokohomas (sp?). its the same company.

Go to Godspeed and click on Parts then click on Advan


I wish I could afford these!

Ask all those people with Advan stickers on their fenders.

There are a bunch of nice semi-race Advan tires avail in Japan/Europe... hard to get here tho... Cheap anyway. A032 and apparently A038 are the only ones you can "readily" get in the states though. Bleh.

GodSpeed and A&JRacing will get you these tires, the JDM Advans (Yokohama) that is. JDM meaning the AO38R and AO48R models... they are both superior performers but so soft/gummy that you will wear these out in half the time it would take to wear out a set of AO32R.

Tirerack has the best prices on Advan A032R .

I too have driven a set of AO32R to their demise by using them on the street. They are unbelievable, really, they are, INCREDIBLE.
But, now that the Azenis from Falken is available, I feel its not worth the money for AO32R as a street tire since the Azenis has so much grip at half of the cost.
The Azenis is like 85% of the performance for 50% of the cost and 85% of AO32R performance is all you will ever need or use safely on the streets...

if you have a shitload of money and want some sticky tires that are road legal, get AO32R from tirerack at full tread depth. Heat cycle them yourself. Life will be good The other good choice is the new street tire from BFG, the KD or R1 or whatever, "oooooooh, the 1G tire"
