Re: TRACTION!! Which Tires Are The BEST For The STREET

JD's right. Jack that ---- back up to maybe a 1.0 to 1.5 drop and get a camber kit. At 3.0 inches of drop, without any camber, the inside half of the tire is going to be doing the work.

For street driving I liked my Yokohama ES100's, they felt good in the corners. But then again I don't have 300HP

Im curious if my alignment and camber was just fucked up and I didnt have enough rubber in the ground, azenis are cheap and easy compared to the BFG's

FIX THE HOODRAT SPECIAL SLAM,GET A CAMBER KIT AND SOME DRAG RADIALS.AZENIS WILL NOT WORK.DRAG RADIALS,DRAG RADIALS,DRAG RADIALS.

Mickey Thompson's are.

For actual tires that are useable.
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's are ungodly.

Nothing will touch their wet traction. Very little is in the same league in dry traction. The tires that are in the same league in dry traction do not have close to the wet traction, or the actual treadwear life.

Raise the *** end back to stock, lower front 0.75", and install limiters that don't let your nose lift higher than 0 degrees camber under power, and limiters that keep the *** end from squatting. Welcome to traction.

Most of those were pairs if not sets. He doesn't sell single tires if I remember.

copied from the auction...shipping is the price X2...

PLEASE CHECK SHIPPING RATE WITH THE E-BAY CALCULATOR X 2 TO YOUR ZIPCODE BEFORE YOU BID
Tires are bulky and can be costly to ship.

These ship singlely One per OVERSIZED Box
Shipping will be the "Calculated (single box) rate" X 2
E-bay has no provision for calculating TWO boxes to the same address
Hence the need for the 2 x calculation
Sometimes shipping is a bit less than the e-bay calculated rate x 2 . If so I will adjust the shipping cost DOWN (never up) at the close of the sale when I send the invoice.

soooo....$50 x 2 = $100

Ehh...my set of Advan A048's were under 200 shipped when I got them from him awhile ago. He didn't box them and just taped tags onto them with my shipping info. But hell it's race rubber and not some street rubber. It's a night and day difference. My Azenis felt like some old all season tires compared to them.
