Very good information here. I do have to disagree with your description of the Advan Neova. Claiming that it is "the stock evo tire available in different sizes and a revised tread pattern" is very misleading. The tire has a different rubber compound as well, which is very important. It is more compliant for every day driving, not quite as responsive, but has better overall grip. Both are very good tires, but also very different tires.

SYMETRIC like stock.

can you afford to run wider but maybe lil lazier tires? can you afford to run them a lil hotter while they're a little bigger so they can take some more heat? do you NEED them to light off quick? do you need them to break away smoothly or do you need the rapid response?
answer these questions and then pm somebody "in the know" and they will advise you further to make the BEST possible decision on tires. if you're not tryinna break records... then that's you... i am :P, my own.

no way... read all the stuff in the two main entries, you have MANY options... and i wouldn't trust someone that tells you differently. that said... once trust is broken like that i would never go back. they're tryinna hose you. what if they scratched your wheels? bet they wouldn't wanna pay up.
