Is your car more for around town driving? Or are you a road warrior and heading out for LD drives across the interstate?

 

I love my potenza RE-11s. Great tire, tons of grip.

225/45/17 and it holds the road.

 

+1 on the RE11

tons of grip, only downside is it wears quite fast

 

Any clearance issues running the 225's? Are you lowered? Springs or Coilovers?

 

Im on H&R springs.. I dont rub. I am not on stock wheels so I dont know if they would.

My 5zigens have a +35 offset and are a 7.5 instead of a 7.

 

Ok. Thank you. I'm looking at going to the 17"x7" with Coilovers but want to go to 225.
Do you get much rollover with the larger sidewall?

 

nope car handles like a dream.

 

Very good, have you done any track events with your tire/spring set up? Just wondering how hard you push the car...I plan on giving my set up a good workout

 

i push my car very hard... harder than i should sometimes. I do track events and things like that. Its not entirely the size of the tire.. it is also the type of tire and the compound of the tire.

The RE-01s or RE-11 are very grippy tires.. I have loved them. Was doing a mountain pass run with a porsche carrera and was able to pull him in the straights.. and pull him in the twisties.

 

Good too hear. My only concern would be that I would be using a 7" wide wheel vs. your 7.5", so I might get a little rollover effect since I will have less wheel on the tire.
Thanks

 

sorry for noob question but can I run these in winter?

 

RE-11 on track car.
Pilot Super Sport on DD car.

 

Just a little shameless promotion, but I have a set of Continental Extreme DW for sale in the NAM Marketplace.

Clicky here for the listing.

Lightly used and nicely discounted.

 

I could....but I probably wouldn't go to the mountains with them

 

Ordered a set of OZ's with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports 215/45/17 today...to bad I will have them at least a month before I get my JCW

 

Goodyear eagle gt is a great all around tire at a decent price. 215/45/17 is what I have

 

They are summer performance tires. In general summer tires degrade rapidly in grip at temps 40 or below. If you're driving much in those conditions, some all seasons or dedicated snow tires would be much safer.

 

P zero Corsa with lots of camber and toe to clear properly.
Monster dry grip, this and the ps2 is the go to super car tires fitted on dbs and 599.
soft compound so it wears quick but heat up quick doesn't like temp below 40
