Hey guys. Ill be getting a new wheel setup soon and I want to know which one has best dry grip. I live in the deserts of cali so I am not worried about the rain.

 

they still sell S02's?

I have been amazed with the RE01R's - they offer grip that is almost like an R compound.

 

so did you decide with neveronlines2k's wheels or the ce28s?

i have the re01rs and i think the dry grip is better than the s02. s02's or re050pp would probably have better tread wear though

 

yeah ill most likely get them. I just wanted to talk to my wheel and tires buddy to make positive sure tho

 

In the testing that we have done I would go with the Bridgestone RE-01R. They turned over 1G on a skid pad here on a stock BMW 3 Series. For a street tire that is very impressive.
If I can help let me know.

 

sweet. Im just looking for a good track/street tire and I think this would be the one. what size exactly would I need if i wanna run a 225 in front and 255 in rear on a 17" rim? sorry im a noob when it comes to tires..but what would keep it the most around stock height?

 

RE01R has the best dry grip it's class of street tire, if you want wet and dry performance I recommend the Advan Neova

 

Said it before, RE01R

 

okay I know absolutely nothing about tires yet, so I'm trying to learn now Im going to go with RE01's I just need to know what size side wall or if you can even get different sizes. I want to match OEM close as possible so I dont throw off my speedometer much. All I know is I think I wanna run a 225 in front and 255 in rear.

So what would that look like? 17/?/255.

Hopefully that all makes sense

ps: I am open for tire size suggestions. My wheel config is: 17x7.5 +48 and 17x8.5 +54.

Edit: again main concern is dry performance. this car will be used at the track and only in dry weather

 

see if jim@tirerack can get you the correct sizes. i'm currently running 225/245 because the 255 wasn't in stock when i ordered. but i think it is 225/45/17, 255/40/17. looking at tire rack's website, they ran out of the 255 setup but maybe you can call jim and see if they still have it.
