I've got a set of TD 1.2 in 15x8+35 in the mail as we speak. I've been looking at tires on and off for a week and cannot decide between 3 choices. I'd like some input from my 15" wheel bretheren. Bonus points if you post a picture of your car
Anyways, some info on my usage for reference:
-It is lowered on Mountune springs.
-This car is my daily, but I use it on weekends for the occasional canyon carve.
-I'd like to get into auto-x when fall hits, but I'm also a lazy bastard so who knows if that will actually happen. So track performance isn't paramount.
-I live just outside Phoenix, and the car is garaged, so rainy/wintery conditions are of little concern to me.
What I value in my performance tire is grip, of course, but mainly I'm looking for a responsive tire with a stiff side wall. I do not want a super forgiving sidewall which makes the car feel disconnected from the road. I ran some RE71R on my 16" Grids a couple years ago and they felt incredible. I also really liked the factory Bridgestones it had on it when I bought it. Conversely, I hated the Federal ST1 I had briefly as they were so soft.
Right, so my three choices are Hankook RS-4, Falken RT660, and the new Continental ExtremeContact Force.
Thoughts, comments, concerns?
Thank you for reading!!!
