Any better tires for a similar price? I was thinking RT-615s, but then I realized how quickly they'd wear out. So...anything else? This is for OEM AP2 17s, I hated the RE050s.

 

I'm interested as to why you hated the RE050's.

 

They gripped terribly. I've driven an AP1 on S02s, much, much better grip. The only good things I can say is that they're decent in the rain (and snow ), and they give you plenty of warning when they're losing traction.

 

RE050's were about control and progressiveness. Overall grip wasn't that great, and they wore like ****. Couldn't even get 10k miles out of them.

 

so Projekt, since I consider you the resident genius, what do you think I should go with, as far as grippy tires that don't wear insanely fast? I was thinking RT-615s, but they wear just as fast as the RE050s.

 

Without spending much money like you want? You're kinda limited bro. Santos would like this one.

Federal 595SS are soft, and wears decently.
Hankook RS-2s wear well, but takes longer to warm up.
BFG KDs grip decent, wear decently, but are squishy and less responsive.

 

I thought about SS595s, but they're hard as hell to find. I thought the Hankook RS2s wore about the same as the RT-615s?

 

kumho mx?

Neither wear very well. Difference is 2-3k miles. Found you some Federals. $69 per front, $84 per rear + shipping. They're in NJ.

The MX compound is snappy, and the burn like crazy when you smoke them. Chunks everywhere in the fenderwell.

 

wow that's cheap...SS595s it is

thanks dude, where in OC are you? I'm originally from Lake Forest

 

Garbage Grove. Lake Forest is nice. Hot chicks.

 

yes it is...I haven't been back there in almost a year. Next time I'm out I'll have to see how all you track ****** drive

 

Like a grandpa. Ask anyone.

 

I got the idea that you drive like a grandpa from your gas mileage thread

 

i personally love my s03's they were nice grip nicely and arent very expensive
i didnt like the s02's thought but
the re050's are great for track days but not street driving

They're garbage in the rain.

I'd get Toyo T1-R's. Really good tires!

 

i got mx's for my ap2, we'll see how they are in the rain.

 

FK452's are a luxury sport tire.

hot chicks? sounds like you've been drinking too much when in lake forest

 

i have the 452's in the rear. Those are my choice in tires. They last too..Check out edgeracing.com and you will find them for a decent price there...
