hey, what do you guys think of the Goodyear F1 GDs3 tyre? Cause i heard previously, those tyres that are made in Thailand is a total let down. Are those Made in Thailand tyres so much different compared to the ones made in Germany?

Does anyone have any experience with Pirelli PZero Nero? I hear they are expensive, but do you get what you pay for?

Don't get the PZeros.. I got them on my euro now..
The stock RE040s are much better..
The Pirelli's are better in the wet, but not worth the value..

I've used both tyres on the street and track, the stock RE040s are much more grippier.. At wakefield was getting at least 2-3sec faster lap times with the bridgestones..

Falken GRB FK451

215/45/17 - $160 a corner from The Tyre Factory.

Now superceded by the FK452, but still a great tyre. Is on the soft side of medium, and gives some road noise but once you've gotten some heat into them they'll do very well considering the price. Out of 10 I'd give a 7 - 7.5. Great for those on a budget.

Wondering if you guys can help, My fully built b18c 92 eg hatch will be ready soon and i need to buy a pair of slicks when i take it down to the drags later this year, I will be running a 15" rim and just wondering what size tire to get from anyones experience, i will be putting down at leats 210WHP and want the widest tyre i can fit just for the drags, not bothered if i cant make full lock turns, one more question, on the Integra vti-r 15" fat five rims that i have now what is the widest tyre i can fit on, prefer to be able to full lock but if it is not capable by 10-30mm that will do.
Thanks everyone

Any thoughts guys, Currently i have 205-50-15, need wider, much wider

Thanks

The fat fives are 15x6 with 195 width stock, you could at least fit 215 to 225 tyres I would think if not more.
Wait for someone who knows more than me tho.
