Question tyressssssssss

wassap all. . .


im looking for some good grip tyres for my toyota soarer 1jz ..

iv been autocrossing the soarer since last year.. im getting to understand the car more and more everyday.. but still..

i think the car has more power then wut the tyres can accept..

coz once the turbo kicks in the weels start spining .. soo im not getting the most out of the car..

soo which tyres would u guys recommend for my soarer.. im planning to start on the back weels first.. and if im happy with them. i would buy the other 2 for the front..

btw im looking for tyres that i would only use on the race day..

so only for autocrossing..

plz help..
the rims im currently having are 16 inch .. and tye size is 245/55 i think

Re: tyressssssssss

Toyo proxes RA-1's are by far the leader in low-cost tires for racing. Shave them to 4/32" for maximum performance.

Re: tyressssssssss

www.tirerack.com or www.tires.com

depending on if they need to be used on the street look at:

Hoosier
Kumho
Falken
Toyo


they are in order of shortest -> longest average life

though the last two will last you roughly the same amount of time (for the proxes and azenis)

I'd look at Falken Azenis sport 615's and Kumho V710's first.
