IMO look at Bridgestone RE001. in 15 inch 195x50x15 , you can fetch em for about $115 per tyre.
I have been running them for about 15,000ks with 4 WSID runs and 2 track days and they hardly look worn. Still feel great. And make me launch fine on WSID.

For my 17" Ben

Might swap my old back tyres to front...

They have lost a lot of tread and are more like slicks now lol

What do you think?

You need sidewalls to get a good launch

**EKVTIR-T** · 14-07-2008 05:46 PM

Yeah can't you borrow some 13/14/15inch wheels for the front?
Your cheap low profile rubber is making it worse...

Well I'm only going once before I go Oversea so its just a temp fix
