Grrrr...... NO traction.
Man....getting sick of this now. I'm getting no traction in the wet with my Falken 502s cause they are crap, and majority of the time, spinning on first couple of gears, before I get any traction whatsoever. This is when the road is slightly wet, so you can imagine tonight was raining quite heaviliy, and basically had to drive like a slug
 Thinking of options for new tyres when time comes to change. Been getting some quotes. Currently looking at street legal semi - slicks. Falken Azenis cost $290 each for 215/45/17. Dunlop D1 were $340 for only 15's  Other options: ST115's, FK451's, Dunlop FM901's. Heard good things about the 901's but also heard dunlop tread wears real quick from my sis. any recommendations, and what do you currently have on your car...and how does it handle? I'm looking more high end here. Don't care about price, as 17's will cost me a bit anyway. Expecting about $200 a tyre, regardless of what I get. Have a few months left in these tyres though, but then it will give me some time to save.

I used to have A008Rs on my 1G and on one of my Celicas - awesome in the dry but not so good in the wet. Ok if you remember that. I also ran the 352s which were great (in a FWD pumping out 2.5 times more than stock) and were nice and grippy.
I'm going to look into what they have that is comperable as I wasn't too impressed with the Bridgestones recently - they used to be good, but the ones I had on my GL were crap.

Jack your ride height up a bit and you might beat Tannee Q

I'm sure I can still beat him, if I reversed back 10 metres and gave him a head start

the FK451's are $226 a tyre for 17's. Not much difference to the Azenis....about 65 bucks.
Perhaps the best option is to get just a couple of semi slicks for the front, and a couple of normal tyres for the back. Like a set of 451's of ST115's for the back. Any other suggestions?
