Yea I'm building the car to to everything aswell as possible. I need the traction of the big drag radials but want the well manners in the front for corners and rain. Believe it or not the 275/60 DR's aren't bad at all while turning.

Your setup depends on what exactly you plan on doing. My plan is the car remains the same where ever i drive it. Because of this i set up my car to work at all times especially on the street as 98% of my driving is on the street. Im building it as a compromise between a Race Car and a Daily...

Got new front wheels and tires, Bushings for front and rear are in the mail. Some Pics:

Now that i have put a couple hundred miles on these tires i would reccomend them to anyone who needs tires. They are great, quiet and comfortable and grip very well. Yesterday it was raining all day and the car drove perfect, Today its 70 and sunny and same result. Updated sig with this...

Well tire rack lists the tire weights as 22 for the continental and 30 for the Goodyear EMT's. The RPF1's are 16 lbs and I'm guessing the cobra replicas are 25 a piece.

i feel its easier to say 89+ or pre-89, No dictionary required for basic conversation. MK, or gen is completely different as it refers to a generation in its entirety.

Well, One day later Tire Racks quick shipping had my new goddies at my door yesterday. This morning i woke up early and got them mounted up despite the crappy weather. They looked very nice when recieved with free lugs! Weighed the Cobra wheels and GarbageYear tires, Scale said 54lbs......Each...

No problem. Any picture of how the front wheels sit? I just ordered the DWS with rpf1's 17x8 with +45 offset. Said I should have them by Thursday. Free mount and balance too. :)

What size did you have on the front of your car and what size and offset wheels? Going to try to order everything Monday so it's time to make a final decision. What should I look out for when I do the alignment?

It's to protect the plastic dip. Not the metal. I may try this. It looks nice.

Favorite one by far!

Things other then paint, like plastics, get damaged from constant exposure to Sunlight and UV rays. Clearcoat will reduce this. Thats why people clearcoat headlights after polishing them. It will still peel off if you clearcoat it. Paint is very thin.

I have them with stock springs. Rides very nice.

Well the wheels now are 17x9 with +22mm offset. I think this is partly/mostly the cause because there is much more wheel outside the knuckle then stock. But I do see reports of run-flat tires tramlining because the sidewalls are so stiff. Because if they hit and groove they don't want to flex...

How do the dws's track? I'm thinking the soft sidewall will help with letting them roll over the road grooves rather then getting caught in them. I'm thinking the dw's may be alright because as much as people say they handle well the most often said trait is how well they ride as far as ride...

Do they follow the grooves? I was looking into them aswell. I Think ive narrowed it down to the following. Continential DWS Continential DW Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 Reading reviews im leaning towards the DW's. Im not looking for the best handling tire but at high speeds...

The Nitto Invo's? Have you personally run them?

Looks like theres reports of the DW's and Nitto Invo's following grooves. I think its because these tires have large grooves and ribs. Im thinking i need a tire like the Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 or the Continential DWS with a more closed all season tread so that they dont grab the...

No no no no, i dont live in NYC. I live on Long Island. The roads where i live are WAY WAY WAY better then in the city. I work in Brooklyn so i know the how horrible they are. I at first thought i had something loose in the front end. I replaced the lower ball joints when i first got the...
