Miller Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Ordered some 18's for the 5.0 to save on rubber. I'm pretty pleased with the look of these but needed a tiny spacer for spoke clearance over the Brembros. http://i.imgur.com/VGN1OJh.jpg - this image was giant. http://i.imgur.com/PQGKpAP.jpg http://i.imgur.com/y3OPtsK.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'll be expecting a text You know it Looks great man! how much are you going to pay to beat me this time? Thanks Rymer. Not sure. I'm thinking around the 150-180tw range? Now just make sure you get the right tires to go with those if you're using them for autocross I bought these from Tom for Autocross. Haven't decided on a tire yet but it won't be an all season! http://i.imgur.com/zxpo0Po.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmwohio Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Need 200TW for autocross - Plenty of good options: In personal ranking order: 1) Bridgestone RE71R 2) Hankook RS3 -V2 3) BFG Rival S 4) Dunlop Direzza Z2 Star Spec Appendix A: Bridgestone is #1 for sure, but will wear a little faster.... 2,3, and 4 will be interchangeable based on other people's opinions, but I think you will be much happier with any of those.

bmwohio Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 *cough*I'm a bridgestone wholesaler*cough* You should be pushing those RE71R's to any autocrosser/wants grip from their car that walks through your door. Great tire so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Yes to Stones....and please refer back to 'Appendix A' ha, fair enough. I know a local guy that went to the bridgestones on an S2000 and went from severly mid pack to top 5 in local non SCCA events. They seem to be "the" tire this year.

Yup, Kyle Herbst just won STX at the National Pro Solo in Wilmington last weekend and won the Super Challenge....basically won the 'whole thing' for the weekend. He is on the Stones. http://www.solomatters.com/2015_tire_rack_wilmington_spring_prosolo_event_recap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 They seem to be "the" tire this year. Haven't they always been "the" tire, people just didn't want to pay "the" price for them.. same deal with michelins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Haven't they always been "the" tire, people just didn't want to pay "the" price for them.. same deal with michelins Every year there is a new/ or improved crop of autox tires. In the past, the the RE-11 was a good tire, but not top crop of autocross tires honestly. People who care, will pay, those who don't will buy poverty federals.

M0nk3y Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hankook was the tire last year. Now this year they are a second behind the top tire, seriously. I've seen 1.41 G peak max in turns and 1.2 Gs constant loading throughout the turn. Bridgestone nailed the tire this year. If you aren't running the tire you're not going to be at the top of your game. Easy as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
