Lulz. I have had great success with it. I will I only say this. Lotus elise came stock with r comp ao48 tires. This is a street car. Porsche and others shod top of line street cars with r comp pilot sport cup tires. If a giant Ass manufacturer with hella engineers and access to tire companies engineers say hey it ain't bad why do people online hate it so much.

Though I haven't tested myself I highly doubt normal street driving actually heat cycles the tire like a competitive event could. People ignore that fact like the plague.

That being said. Star spec v2 and rs3 and 615rt and the oem s2k Bridgestone are great extreme summer street tires. I just prefer more.

 

A lot of the tires are produced the same, out of the same rubber, the same treadwear etc. nt05s are about 40$ cheaper per tire than rt615s. Haven't run the nittos yet but I blew up a 4bolt rear in my dsm and snapped an axle launching .. I think they're pretty sticky lol

Stock dsm motor record was set on azenis rt615s. They're a damn good tire . Not that terrible in the rain, just don't drive like a jackass like someone previously stated.

If you need something more than an extreme summer/tire legal for track use + dot approved perhaps you should adjust your setup or feather the gas a bit

ummm, no

 

Man I am iching to get mine back from the shop. Hopefully if nothing goes wrong...(crosses fingers) I get it back by end of next week.

 

I posted in other thread. Can't wait to see your power band and results.

 

I was talking to zack and wondering i should swap for a 4 port solenoid or keep the 3 port and run the bigger spring when I switch it to e85.

Car at the shop taking just now. Can't wait to see it finished!

 

Awesome!

 

I filled two 5 gallon gas cans of E85, got my 4 port mac solenoid in yesterday so I can run the higher boost levels without having to switch from my 8lb spring, and got my new NGK 2668 plugs to swap out. All I need to do is pull my wideband o2 sensor from my high flow cat to plug into the downpipe when I get there. Almost there guys.

 

make sure you have all the hose/fittings/sealer for the 4 port!
