I have only been autocrossing for about a year, and picked up Neuspeed RS05s with 245/40/17 BFG rivals as my dedicated autocross/track setup. I have run 3 auto crosses with this setup and so far have had no rubbing issues.
BFG Sport comp 2's. $112 each, great in the dry, great in the rain. TireRack loves them as do pretty much every review I read on them before I bought a set of my own.
In the early years (1998-99), it ran simple bolt-ons (intake, exhaust, header, no cat, software, pulleys, ac delete, LSD), but that's about it. The car did struggle on the top end grunt sometimes, but the torque was definitely there coming out of the corners...
Kumho tires and Nexen tires are 2 chinese brands I highly recommend. I have both on my vehicles. Kumho on my car,Nexen on my truck.
i like the nexen 195 45s thats what i have on my car and there wear rating is awesome. and they grip nicely once you get them warmed up. ive seen the toyos wear out very quick.
I just picked up some fresh BFG AT Ko's and they have a 1710 lb range. but they just tear up the backroads...
On our prescribed sighting-lap line, the Optima's chassis proved compliant while the standard high performance dampers (fundamental design shared with the Sorento's dual flow dampers) and suspension tuning found a good compromise between a relaxed ride and more aggressive roadholding. Off the driving line, the stock Nexen touring tires didn't enjoy steering corrections at speed, and predictably squealed in protest.
C5 RS6 wheel painted flat black with brand new Nexen 3000 tire 19x8 et 30 best offer UUC weight shift knob, silver (6spd) nice and heavy I can include a threaded OEM shifter for free
Good for the money.. they are indeed 'budget tires'.. Perform decently on dry.. but wet traction is not all that good and I thought they wore fast.. like 30k miles.. rotated them every 5k..
I had Nexen N3000's on the S2000 when I purchased it. While I know they aren't N5000's, they seemed to have an odd reputation on message boards. The 3000's were deemed fairly acceptable for the first half of their tread life, but then horrid at the second half. They went from having a bit of grip to driving on frozen hockey pucks. Mine were already fairly worn on the S2000, and they were SCARY. They were promptly replaced with appropriate rubber for the car.
