Tires Toyo or Continental
I plan to buy these tires for sure, they seem to be the top stretch tire along with the 512 Falken.
The conti's stretch pretty hard, and I liked them when I ran em on the ginster.
the Contis are awesome in the dry and wet (and snow). Will defintely buy those again.
Also, I'd like to comment favourably for the R888, which I tried on an AMG SLK: awesome grip and great heat resistance!
i use 888's on the track, and couldn't be happier! they are the bomb. on the street, they are pretty damn loud, sounds, and feels like the car is on dyno rollers... you can use them daily, just refrain from pushing too hard in the wet - i have driven many times in the wet, but just took it easy and all was fine. on the track with some heat on them, they are unbelieveable, you just laugh at the grip and control especially if you are running coilovers and bbk.
The Toyo RA-1s were my first set of \"real\" track tires and wow, who knew that there was such a difference between high performance street and competition tires? They are excellent and are on my car 100% of the time since there's not much daily driving duty for my R32 anymore.
Yes I run the R888 and have been very happy with them. I mainly use my car for tarmac rallies and some of the events have been wet and the tyre still performs well though I wouldn't push extremely hard in the wet with them.
The r888 is starting to replace the RA1 herer in the US. They are fine in the wet until the tread gets to 4/32. At 4/32 the tire essentially becomes a slick with 2 grooves that go around the tire. They are great tires though! I have them on my track car and couldnt be happier.
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.
My Conti's sound like a 4x4 going down the road
