    Semi Race Tyres Suggestions

    Getting my new wheels in a few weeks and I wouldn't mind some feedback on semi race tyres. Tyre profile will be 215/45/17s matched to Volk TE37s. What are the best brands and are there any recommendations for a mildly modded DC5R. Car runs Tein Flex coilovers.

    Thought about getting tyres for the stockies but I wanna show off the Rays at every possible opportunity. They're lighter too so would be better suited to the street slicks.

    I wouldn't recommend using Semi's for a street driven car. 1) Obviously they don't last 2) They don't get the heat required for them to work.

    Just get a uber high performance street tyre.

    R-comps are also worse during wet weather due to smaller grooves.

    I recommend Falken Azenis RT615 semi slick for street & track!
    They relativly long lasting than other semi, low noise like normal steet tryre, looks good and good value! but I have checked that they don't have your size 215/45/17, they only have 215/40/17 or 225/45/17

    You can get Bridgestone RE55S in 215/45/17
