does anyone have any experience with conti DW's at my power level (~230 ft-lbs torque)?
I've decided to roll the dice on the Dunlop ZII's. They should be here by tomorrow and i hope to have them installed on Friday. If all goes according to plan, I should have about 150 miles on them by Monday and can post a mostly useless pre break-in cold weather review!

can't figure out how to post pics, but I just had the Z II's mounted. I can say that I certainly got the traction that I was looking for. I have full traction in 2nd gear in 30 degree temps after only 5 miles of break-in. Pretty good, i would say. We'll see how they handle the rain...

Im Supercharged as well. I run the Nitto Invo 225/245 on AP2V1. So far Im very happy with these. My car doesnt see the track but backroads and spirited driving as well as the dairly cruise to work. These ride really nice and are quiet. They also have good traction when heated up. I was going to go with the NT05 but I thought they might wear too fast. I am considering giving them a try though. I would recommend the INVO though. Especially if you daily your car and drive in rain (which I dont) but have driven on wet roads with confidence wit these.
These also have a very unique looking tread design and people love to look at them ; )

More daily driver info after 92 miles of break-in. Went to work today with no issues. Temp was 20 degrees and distance was 2 miles. It just snowed yesterday so the parking lot had a little slush to navigate. The roads were bone dry. Obviously I wouldn't recommend long distances, but they were fine for short travel.

toyo T1R fits all ur need, it's awesome on rain and it handle my 400 whps sc ap2.
but comapare to the nt-05 in the same size i had, they NT 05 doees better on dry, but more road noisy compare to Toyo T1R.

If one wanted a mid-pack-at-best tire from 8 years ago, T1R fills that bill...
