Autocross/Daily Driver Tire Question - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Forgotten · 2005-07-16, 07:12 PM

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.

MattR · 2005-07-16, 10:16 PM

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

khail19 · 2005-07-18, 06:26 AM

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.

baller!

nice job.

Libila · 2005-07-18, 09:19 PM

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!!

Forgotten · 2005-07-27, 06:53 PM

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.

tysonK · 2005-07-27, 09:04 PM

hot.

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

NevadaSTi · 2005-08-01, 04:20 PM

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?
