Stang70Fastback Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'm using Yokohama S.drive tires, but they are 215/55R17, so not quite what you're looking for, but pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98LGTLover Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hankook V12 Evos in size 205/50/17. Love them! They are fairly quiet for a summer tire and they perform well. I have about 5k miles on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drogos Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 for ultimate grip to price ratio >>> Hankook Rs3. New Direzzas are coming out so I would look for sale deals on these. Have been running them for a while. Grip is insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spooln30 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Actually I have the Hankook V12's on my Supras street wheels as well as my Legacy, yes I really like these tires, and last summer I was at Ferrari track event at Road America. Since I know a lot of the track officials during one of the street car sessions I was able to get on the track for free and the V12's performed really good for being a street tire. Granted I was only on my low boost setting (19psi), once heated up they were decently sticky and we're able to handle my driving well. They don't have nearly the stickyness of my Hoosier R6's I run for actual track events but you can't compare a street tire to a competition only race tire. Now if you guys want a relay FN great track tire the Hoosier R6 are hard to beat. About $315 a tire but well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
