Default Need tire advice
I bought s2kmugen's tires but now i'm debating what size i should get the fronts. i'm gonna stick with the same Falken FK-452 series but cant decide whether to go 215 or 225 for the fronts. i want to track the car at least once with these tires so i wanna make sure my choice is good. i dont know how the car handles at the track since i've never been. o, if you guys didnt know, the rears are gonna b 255s. thanks

How wide is your front wheel? Probably 225 without even hearing that yet.

Also the 452's arent sticky at all.For track use I would go with something else.The 452 are made more to last the VIP guys a long time with their crazy camber.

dude use 225 for street and track! you'll have more tire in contact with the road anyways, it wont do you any harm.
