Tires Toyo or BFGoodrich
ive got g force sport and im pretty happy with then, other wise yoky es100 but the wear is not the best but has alot of grip and feedback i think.
Man these things blow the stock tires out of the water. I havent had a chance to really put them through their paces, but I did spend ~15 min messing around in an empty parking lot. I agree reguarding the ride/sound.
I am currently running them on my GLI on the street, and they are great tires! Very quiet, good ride, good dry grip, haven't had a chance to test them in rain yet. I would recommend them if you want an all-season UHP, that you can do the occasional autox on.
I've run Toyo RA-1s and thought they did a fine job, although I never did better than 2.1. With more launches under my belt, my Dunlop SP8000s have performed as well.
some people don't like them but I get good results with my Toyo FZ4 205-50-15.
Guys - good news I took it all apart, inspected it and honestly, it all looks mint when compaired to the passanger side. I put on my winter wheels in all 4 corners: 14" steelies w/ 205/60/14 BF Goodrich Winter Slaloms (Yeah...I know, it's september...bear with me) Anywho, I took it to the local gas station, got all the tire pressures even (32 PSI) and took it for about a 5 mile drive, There isn't a single noise comming from anywhere, the car rides and feels like buttah
With regard to tire pressures, btw. I'm running T1-S in a 245/45 16 size on my S6 wagon, with 36 pounds of pressure in each tire. I started out at 34, and picked it up to 36.
I've always run my car with 195/60-14's. I use BFGoodrich Comp T/A HR4-2's and live in MI and it goes through snow really well.
I had the Toyo FZR's (I think) on my all-season 1.8T. Not the best by any stretch, but not too shabby in the muck either. Got me through 2 winters and only 1 time was I sweatin' with grip problems.
I can speak to the Toyo's from experience. I had them on my RSX-S, 225-45-17. I can only rate them as moderate. Grip is good, but not great. Certainly no better than F1's. Sidewall stiffness also is good, but not great. Press on the sidewall of an un-inflated T1-S, and you'll see. They are not terribly stiff. One thing I would give them an "F" on is noise. They were noticeably louder than the stock Michelines I had when new. And by 20k miles, they absolutely howled. I personally won't buy them again.
