im wondering which tired i should go with. i have plans for a boosted SOHC making about 250 HP daily. i want to know whihc tires i should get for my 18 inch axis seven mods. yes i said 18 inch. (however i will be using civic si rims at the track with bfg drag radials) any help would be appreicated...so far im looking at the yokohama parada spec 2 and the toyo ti-s...help

 

i like my Azenis on stockers... 200 treadwear though but it sticks

id say yokohama es1 if you are on a budget

 

bump...anyone else?

 

i have the yokohama parada spec 2 and there good tires. i would recommend them

 

well I have had almost every tire in the world on my eclipse.... I do lot of track events.... any way I have always liked bridgestone potenza.

 

toyo t1-s. great tire imo

 

Bridgestone Potenza. Re910 for daily driver, S-03 Pole Position for racing.

 

BF Goodrich G-Force KD's
or a nice set of R compounds

 

I know this might sound dumb, the new Nitto Neo Gens. I just put them on my 16in slips and the traction is great compared to my old tires(nt450). Plus, they are great in the rain, are cheap, and get decent thread wear.

 

Enjoying my Azenis daily. I don't know if they make them in 18's... that would be around 45 - 40 ratio, huh.

 

I have the Yokohama Parada Spec 2 on 17 inch rims. They hook really well. Don't have any complaints about them yet.

 

is it true that parada spec 2's are loud when cruising at freeway speeds?

They are louder than the Dunlops I had before them.. I really like them though

I haven't noticed any tire noise when cruising on freeways, but the engine isn't very quiet either.

 

i'm using azenis also and so far so good.

 

Traction wise i think yokohama ao32r and bfg drag radial... though treadwer makes a short life of them and they're noisy... i have s03's and traction sucks in boost but hey on slicks i love my car....

Depends on how many miles you drive daily. If you work or school close to home get some BFG drag radials. If you on a budget than get the Azenis.

 

I loved my Azenis, I have problems finding them somethimes though. Which is why I'm Rollin on Khumps right now. Only thing I noticed about them, the sidewall is soft *** hell. I tried cruising back from the track with about 22psi in the RF tire. First pothole I hit bent a wheel and destroyed the tire. HAd another one that went low and I didnt realise it, it desintagrated on the highway. Pretty gnarly, it was smokin before I could get the car stopped and off the road. I'll be getting another set soon, but the spare and portable inflator are goin back in the car.

 

I know they arent as good as the BFGs but what about the Nitto DRs. I really dont hear of to many people using these anymore. Do they still even make them? IMO for traction purposes the Nitto DRs will be a little better than the Azenis for Drag Racing purposes.

 

I had the nitto 555r on my boosted gsr, i manages a 2.1 60ft my first time at the track. The average time on bfg's is a 2.0. I got alot of miles out of them and were totally wortht he $. I got them for $202 for both. 205/55/16. The 555r's are gd, but if you want that little extra get the bfg's.

 

I used to have the nitto 555dr and they sucked. wore funny, with a perfect camber and they didnt seem to stick like my dunlop fm901's do. i have had better times with these tires then i did with the nitto's.

also, i think they stopped making them in sizes for us.
