any 1 no the best tire for the evo. is there a beter tire then stock and 1 that is good for handlingand track. thanks buys

 

Toyo RA-1's

 

I'm a firm believer, you don't get much better than the stock tire... I'd even say that it's better than the RA-1's.

 

thats what i herd but there 300 a pop u no do u no somewhere cheeper and how about the bfgoodrich they have a few kinds out how bout them ?

 

Check the tire rack comparison of high end tires in the tire and wheel section.It was really informative.

 

a047 in sale in CA... i think.

 

I just replaced my tires with BF Goodrich. I do not track my car, just enthusiastic daily driving only. Although I have not pushed the car hard since I've had the new tires, my first impression is the BF Goodridge is not as good (sticky) as the Yokohama's had been. Whether or not they will improve after I have a few miles on them I do not know. I wonder whether the others who use this tire have the same view?

 

What about the new falken tires that are coming out, ive heard they are supposed to be pretty good. The Azenis RT-615's

 

I think stock is the best you'll get for this car. Hell, it was made specially for it. Just wish it wasn't so expensive... I'd pay $215/ea if they lasted more than 15k miles.

 

To bad the stock tires are Advan A046's

 

Which BFG?

 

Is it Goodyear that makes the F1's? Anyone have experience with those?

 

Yoko Avs Sport

 

on the track, you would be wrong.

when up to temp on the track, the ra-1's have quite a bit more grip than the stocks.

on the street i couldn't agree more.

to me, ra-1's are a bit too soft on the street(when warm) and pick up stuff more easily.
so they tend to puncture easier. also if it's too cold out they actually seem to have less
grip than the stocks. this is coming from someone who used to drive on the ra-1's about
7-8 months out of the year during the trackday "season" instead of changing out to
stocks. at the time i didn't have two sets of wheels so it was more of a hassle to change.

i did this on two different cars and now have finally gotten my act together and bought
a second set of wheels.

 

From what I have heard, these are all good replacements for stock if you are looking for non R compound:
Falken 215
Falken 615 (out in late March hopefully)
Kumho MX (only $130 each!)
BFG KD's (expensive)
Bridgestone S03's
