I was working on my car today changing the spring rates and figured we needed a thread for 2014 STR tire choices. Whats everyone going to run?


Happy STR-ing Guys!


A pic whore picture of what I did today

 

235 R1R's? Toyo's love Lincoln concrete.

 

I didn't think of that, I added it to the poll, is it me or has S2KI been dead recently?

 

The last S2000 rolled off the line 5 years ago, things are going to slow down here.

 

Toyo Tires for me. Thanks Toyo, OS Giken, Whiteline, Penrite and ARE!

You may want to change the name of the tires to something more mature if you want this thread to continue.

 

after the Z1's that came with the wheels i bought are worn out, i will be transfering the 245/255 set from my stock wheels. hope it works out fine.

it is the holidays most people are off from work, so most are off the forum. lol ie me.

 

I'll have a set of 255 RS-3s and a set of 245 Z2s to use locally, and maybe the Blythville Pro. Once I burn through the RS-3s, or if they are rock hard after the winter, I'll probably replace them with a 245.

I think it will be an interesting year for tires, even though the Toyo won STX, looking at the results the RS-3s and Dunlops were dang close, on cars that weren't that well prepped.
I also believe they were running 245 Hankooks, which there may be something there, similar to how the 235 Toyo is quicker on a 9" wheel than a 255.

 

Some used RS3s will get me through the season. Tight budget this year.

 

z11's unless the RS-3's can be here by April.

darcy

 

Any reason why you put sizes on the R1R's and not the others? I have a feeling that people will be playing with the various sizes this year too.
