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?

Forgotten 2005-07-16 08:54 PM

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?

Kevin M 2005-07-18 02:15 PM

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.

MattR 2005-07-18 02:58 PM

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.

Forgotten 2005-07-18 06:10 PM

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.

nice job.

Perfect timing for the track day Pete!

Forgotten 2005-07-18 09:43 PM

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 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.

Kevin M 2005-08-01 04:36 PM

Lucky! Gosh...

bruspeed 2005-08-01 06:33 PM

Nice job man. Really digging the color combo.

Napolean/ Like fifty GOD!

I needs me some re070's.

NevadaSTi 2005-08-02 01:00 PM

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...

Kevin M 2005-08-02 02:22 PM

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

NevadaSTi 2005-08-02 02:35 PM

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

100mm VS 114.3mm?
