Brian Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I have a set of OEM 10th Anni Cobra wheels (17x9) that I am going to be using for the road course (OOPPSSS FORGOT TO TELL YALL I HAD THEM LOL) and I was wondering what tire recommendations you other corner carvers would recommend.

Brian Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I know previously LilRoush told me to go with the Cont Extreme Contacts which I still think may be my route but just wanted some others input before hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilRoush Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Are you looking for 'track only' type tires? Or mega performance street tires?Track only:Cont Extreme ContactBFGoodrich R1Hoosier R6Kumho 710 Edited February 9, 2013 by LilRoush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 These tires would be for the road course only as the title says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilRoush Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 The R888 is more or an extreme performance street tire than a pure track tire. They are nice, though.On any of those I listed, a 225/45 or a 245/40 on a 17x9 will give you a nice flush side wall so you don't have to worry about it stretching or bulging during cornering.

Brian Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Still makes me chuckle at the tire sizes but one day I'll run a 17x10 with a 275 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilRoush Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Yeah, a lot of people don't realize how wide those types of tires run. On a 9" rim, the 225/45 competition tire will sit flush like a 265/35 performance street tire. And because of the 'slick' design, you are actually putting down double the contact patch of a similar width street tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompOrangeSN95 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I run G-force R1's. I like them a lot, but from everyone I talked to I should switch to a hoosier R6. The R1's were free for me, but when I wear them out I will be switching to the Hoosiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
