Detox Cowboy bought new Goodyear GT's with a 280 rating for under 500 bucks installed.
I like Goodyears. ANYTHING BUT the Sumitomo HTR 200's that came with the car. I looked at the 205/60 Yokohamas with the arrow tread. I have a bud with an S4 that likes Yokohamas, but he has all weather. I don't need all weather. Summer only is fine for me. Unlike Detox, I don't drive at all in weather in SoCal. Have a G35 for that. But, most importantly Detox said the 50 series are too hard to enjoy just farting around driving to the beach and regular stuff, so the Kumho's and all the other 50 series are probably no fun. Anyone have any other 60 series they really like that stick well? Still looking and when I finish the CV's, Clutch cable, new Monza muffler and speedo, I will finally be ready to September Autocross. I could also pick up a set of wheels and mount something for autocross only, but I am not sure. Bruce Stone may still have some 5.5 Gurneys that may work. I am not sure I can run stock with 6 inch Empi/Minilite types? Anyone know from PCA on this issue. I have nothing but a totally stock 73 2.0L Thanks! John |
