Autocross/Daily Driver Tire Question
 

After today and tomorrow my RE92s will be finished. I think I have my replacements narrowed down to three different tires. I am trying decide between the RT-615s, the Yokohama Advan Neovas, or some RE070s(Good Deal at costco). I'm not too concerned about price but I would like decent treadwear. I've only read good things about the Advans

These will be mounted on my new Rota Revs that arrived on friday afternoon. http://subydude.com/osc/product_info...6e0db154394775

Please feel free to throw in any other tire suggestions.

Will you have to drive these year round?

Just during the summer. Going to have my stock rims with winter tires.

If you're going to run these as autocross tires, I'd say it's a choice between the RE070's and the 615's...The other tires do not hold up to the abuse as well.

yep

You can get RE070s at Costco?

Yeah, they carry Bridgestone. 070s are special order though. Heck, even S03s are special order. So are Michelen PS2s and most other Max Performance tires.

Pete, go see Andy at Costco Carson, he's the man....Says 070's go for about 189 installed and out the door. Good price IMo.

I actually did buy the RE070s yesterday. They went up a couple bucks but 191 installed wasn't bad at all. Thanks for all the advice guys. I'll have them on at the meet on thursday.

baller!

nice job.

Perfect timing for the track day Pete!

Man, I feel like I am just a bit to short on cash to do the track day. I need to decide tonight though. I really want to do it.

I can guarantee that you won't get this much space on track at an event ever again. Signups are very light so far, this should be a blast. Dooo eeeet!!

Pictures!
 

Tim snapped some quick pictures for me. Here they are. I got a few more goodies this week. The important ones like the pink I badge and the Carbon Fiber side markers.

I'll take some real pictures when my sideskirts and headlights are painted.

hot.

Took the word straight out of my mouth.

I need a real camera so I can take all sorts of hot pictures like the 1st and 3rd one.

I just picked up another set of Re070's with less then 1000 miles on them. YEHAA.

Lucky! Gosh...

Nice job man. Really digging the color combo.

So uh, how many sets is that?

Napolean/ Like fifty GOD!

I needs me some re070's.

Tyson,

Huh, that would be Two sets of re070's and one set of fuzion ZRi's. Now all I need is another set of rims. LOL

What you need is a set of Lightstars... Nice light 17" wheels cheap, stright from my garage... Perfect for RE070s for Autocross, etc...

Do those fit Brembos? I thought you hadn't used them since you put the Stoptechs on Dean.

Also, are they the same bolt pattern as my 05 STi?????

100mm VS 114.3mm?

Right you are Ken... I was thinking of the WRX in the pictures, not for the STI... Doh.

Lightstars do not fit over Stoptechs or STI Brembos.

Darn thread hijackers. :p

Dean, how much do you want for them? And can you post some pics?

Won't fit the STi, wrong bolt pattern, and don't clear brembos ;)

My friend has a 02 WRX, I am asking on his behalf.

$300 or so with Spline drive lugs...

I'll dig up some car pictures with them, but here it is from the web. In silver.

Cool, I will let my friend know.

NIPPON RACING WHEELS 17" Lightstar ,5x100 (NIB), 300.00.

I just found that on the intraweb!

Where out of curiosity? Shipped? Who wants NIB when you casn have UIR. Make me an offer...

OK, I so far I can only find a couple pictures with them on the car...

That sure is a sexy wagon ;)

Wait, is that the one everybody is talking about when they say "I saw a car just like yours, only with better wheels"? :huh:

Well played ;)

It looks really weird in that pic for some reason, I never realized how small those wheels looked :D

Back to the previous thread already in progress :D

Who is that pissing on MattR's STi???

:lol: :lol: :lol:

That's Nate ;)

What was weird to me when I looked at that picture is how miniature versions of Tyson's car numbers got on my passenger side window...

test and tune 2 years ago! damn!

Yeah, the one with an entire year's worth of weather stuffed into one insane day...
