auto x!!
-
my tires grip good. There are only 2-3 other tires i would buy that are street legal. and they are twice as much, and wont last as long. I have RT615s. I wish i had more rear traction(I have 275s) But I will just have to start to over come that with learning the car and adjusting alignment.
I notice alot more understeer when going from 255s to 275s.
My advice would be to not turbo your car for the next season, or wait for the end. adding the power especailly in a FWD is going to give you a traction nightmare until you learn the car.

so these are the tires you have on your car???? (I was checking them out last year) And ya what do you expect man your car sounds like it has alot of fucking power of course your gunna have a traction issue!!!! LOL I have basically a stock 1g talon no turbo fwd and plan on doing some mods but nothing crazy just wanna set it up for auto-x and road racing and wanna get a good tire.

Those are tires i have, falken azenis RT615. Tintmasters has good price on them also. They are a good tire, I did about 13-14 laps at BIR before i could feel them overheating/getting greasy. and it was some pretty hard driving for my driving ability.
when i auto-x i run around 9psi which is nothing for power. I normall run at around 18psi.

Yup those are them! I want them, but on that website it states that if you are looking for a tire that lastes DO NOT BUT THESE! How bad do they burn the tread off!?! Would they be good for summer driving and some auto-xing/road racing? Also how was the BIR track? Just watched a video and it seemes if you wanna run good you gotta race really close to other drivers but that could have just been the vid. that I watched.
-
and your car sounds like a hella lot more boost than that man!!!!!!
-
open dump wastegate. I have a pretty decent turbo.
When we went, there was about 20 street cars there. you can get caught up put do a roll through on the pits and you will be fine for a while. I wouldnt do more the 10-15 laps on street tires until you are really expeinced. I over drove my tires and paid the price.....
Also, upgrade your brakes.
-
they only allow passing in 2 places in the event i was at, and most other events are the same. passing on the rear staight is possible but you need the power to do it and the other driver to know you are going, there is no since in pushing it and risk ruining turn 10 and getting the wall
-
Ya I plan on getting dif. brakes but those tire handle good and it was well worth it from what it sounds??? At the auto-x's your car seemed to handle very well. I'm sure that you saw me I was in the baby blue porsche 914 (lookes like a barbie car) if it had more power it would be great. It handles awesome but doesn't have the power to GO!!!! LOL
-
I had RT-615's on my car as well, and I don't think i'd ever go with another tire after having them. They gripped great, could pretty much dump the clutch and it would hook up, where as other tires i've had just sat and spun. They have lasted quite awhile, considering my car wears on tires pretty bad. I would definately recommend them, they work great for all around driving, street and track, and i've never heard anyone complain about them.
-
Thanx man appreciate the info. I beat on my tires as well and just wondering if they will take it. LOL
-
^have to correct you on one thing. DO NOT use them on the drag strip. your just going to burn them up.
also, being FWD and a DSM doesnt allow for that large of tires, i think, you well have traction problems when you have a modded turbo setup.
My car handles pretty good. I have some understeer to correct. and need some more seat time.
-
ya plan on more auto-x and road racing so i'm gunna have to go with your word man
-
faber i still don't get why you need a bigger turbo to auto-x? kinda backwards if you ask me
-

we will see where i spool my gt3076r by, i'm going to say full boost at 4800 ish just basing off other ppl's experience. but i think it will be small enough where i can still be able to part throttle and not spin everywhere. but we will find out.
