What are the best tires regardless of money for Type-R. Also which are better RE010's or SO-3's?

 

i think the SO-3's are better...but i havent tried them so i cant really comment.

 

Try the G-Force TA KD's. Check out the user voting/feedback on tirerack.com.

 

Bridgestone Potenza S series

 

Does anyone know when the BFG G-Force TA KD's are supposed to come out in a 15 inch model? I remember reading that it was coming out this summer, but I haven't seen any news of the tire lately. TIA

Some friends swear by Advan NEOVAs; I think the AJ Racing boys are using them now, so maybe they can comment.

 

I use the AO32R's on the street, i love them loud, but GRIP I also have a set of P7000's this is an ok tire, but i might try the new falkins i have read a lot about them. and they are under 70 a pce .

which ones?

 

Yes it will be. I have a set of 205/50/15 G-Force KD's on my car from the SCC/BFG G-Force challenge couple of weeks ago.

RE010.

 

Scorcher T/A's lol j/k I hear Toyo's aren't too bad, forget which model though sheesh silly me. Or get Yokohama A520's.

I'm not sayin these are the best but they are good tires

No doubt the Advan 032 will give you the Most grip and yet streetable.

 

I have a set of S-03's on my 00-R, the grip is awesome, the traction in the rain is awesome but I think the RE010's handle better in the stock size. My car doesn't feel as balanced with the 205/50/15's on it now.. But if you want grip, the S-03's got it and a much longer treadwear than the RE010's.

 

As soon as these damn kumhos wear out I am gonna get A0-32 R's

 

I agree. A032R's are the ultimate dry grip if you don't mind the noise and fast wear.

 

I just got Kum-O-NO!!
I'm not impressed at all!
rubbery side wall, but good grip. After the Re010's, these things are damn near dangerous!

 

If you don't mind the noise and really fast wear then A032s are a good choice. I recently got a set of S-03s and cannot say enough good stuff about them. To me they are better than the RE-010s and AVS Intermediates. The only down side is the cost. About $150/tire for 205s. I think Tire Rack had a deal going on the 195s for like $90/tire.

 

For all-out grip, I'd have to say Perelli P-Zero SYSTEM or Perelli Rosso's. Lottas money, and fast wear, but boy they really hang-on.

 

You can't use 195's on the Type R. The only size 195 that the A032R comes in, is for a 14-inch wheel. And 14-inch wheels don't clear the brake calipers.

 

Ditto - P-zero gets my vote too. Specifically, P-zero assimetrico.

 

AO32R no doubt, cost is outrageous for the treadlife... but worth it for the insanely high grip.

 

Toyo T1-S, the tread ridges speak for themselves.

 

Can you give me some more details about the handling? I am thinking of buying the S-03's. Does anyone know why it doesn't handle that good?

 

I think it handles perfectly fine with 205/50/15 S-03s, which I also have. What he may be feeling is the heavier on center feel of the wider tires. The car becomes a bit more stable, but resists turn-in a little more. The additional width gives more grip overall, and the sidewall is just as stiff as the 010s. The ultimate grip at the LIMIT is slightly down from the soft 010s, but not by much. An excellent tire.

Ultra grip: A032 or G-Force TA KD. Honorable mention:S-02, Pilot Sport

 

On my car at least, when I turn at speed ~ 65mph the car feels like the rear end is going to come around abruptly. With the 195's it handled very well, with the new ones I am not comfortable. It's a strange feeling like the front end bites so hard that the rear end will just break loose with no warning.
