tyres s2k

[mania]

hi guys just giving yous some feed back on tyres ive just put on.
toyo ra1
these tyres are fantastic!!!!! like they say they are close to the nitto and i would agree .they definitely are very sticky , as for tyre wear well who cares you cant have the best of both worlds.
i did have on the toyo t1rs and i would say they are good but no where in comparison.
so far only dry driving i will keep in touch on wet perf.
it certainly brings out the best of the s2ks handling. i would say comparitable with my 993 porsche.

How much did it cost you?

you're gonna be hard pressed getting a relevant reply from a post made around a year ago...

call up some tyre centres and get more accurate info. that tyre might already be obsolete

Whaaaaaaaaa?

$600 each? That's extortion. Surely not. You can get RE55s or A048s for less than that.

Thats what I was thinking at well... Its hard to find a decent tyre shop in Brisbane.

looked at my invoice and yes they were 550 each at a trade price. any way that was along time ago and they were exceptional tyres.hope it helps

The man also owns a 993 Porsche, money is obviously not a significant issue...

you must respect 600 tyres and yes they were good i wanted to see how good the s2k was and with those tyres hey even a 993 porsche would have trouble in the traction dept.
since then the car has been sold but the new owner still raves about them not sure if he would replace them again. i think maybe 17s with these tyres would be a very compromisable choice thought.depends what you want i see people with 19s and 20s but im sure this would have to affect its handling.

19" and 20" wheels = wank (18" is borderline wank). Sorry to be so blunt about this, but I'm right!

Well, I'm not clairvoyant or spying on you, as NeoNode pointed out, you told me!
