just got the 225 Azenis on. Love them so far, good feel, nice turn-in, we'll see how they hold up at the AX over the weekend.

 

Anyone know how do the Toyo T1-S's compare to the S03s?

 

I'm not really sure.. I'm pretty much set on the S-03 but I did find a tire that looks interesting.. about the same price as the s-03

Dunlop SP Sport 9090 N-O

I think they are an OEM tire for Audi

 

Neal if you're still following this thread I'd like to put in a good word for you when I order this evening.. just let me know what I can do!

 

Sounds good I'll be here till 7:00pm central and all day tomorrow hehe If you order online you can put my name on the order and I'll follow it for you.

 

weeeeeeeee ordered

Now to burn as much rubber off the advans as I can til they come in

 

Sweet! Keep us informed

 

Can't wait.. they are due in tomorrow I've taken the day off to hopefully get these installed tomorrow Will let you guys know what I think

 

Remember: New full tread depth + mold release = a bit less responsive handling than what your used to. Any tire will do this, but they should tighten up in a couple hundred miles. More rotations in the first 10K miles of a tires life is always best.

 

Too bad the EVO doesn't come with a 'burnout' mode to help scrub in new tires.

Later,

jcnel.

 

I know exactly what you're talking about.. I had put a set of Toyo's on my celica.. took out of there pretty quick around a turn and spun out.. didn't hurt anyone/thing but it did scared the **** out of me.

Also I'm editing my first post to include all the tires we've talked about in this thread... It makes it much easier for someone searching to decide whether or not they want to read the entire thread

 

Two big ones up for the 225 Azenis. Only had ~70 miles on them before the AX on Saturday and they were awesome. Very predictable and progressive when breaking away at the limit. Much quieter on the highway than the A046. We'll see how well they hold up, which should be quick since I put about 2,500 miles a month on my car.

I'm beyond satified with them, I originally just wanted something cheaper that did not lose the steering feel, and right now I feel the car right there with handling and turn-in, the noise has decreased, and they're dirty stinkin' cheap!

 

Does anybody know if the Advan AD07 Neova's are coming here? I've heard that the Lotus Elise will use them as stock tires. I hope when they start selling replacement tires for the Elise they'll bring over more sizes.

Did you hear anything about this Neal? If you're going to carry the Neova's for the Elise, can you get them in larger 18in sizes?

 

had my Goodyear F1 GS-D3 a few day, and they are AWESOME!!!......especially when it was pouring here, it handled beyond my expectation........ALOT better than stock Advan during wet, and the ride is alot more smoother..........

 

We only have the Lotus sizes at this point. It will probably be introduced/produced as a specialty tire like the EVO's Advan is. If that happens, I wouldn't expect any larger sizes for some time. Only time will tell though.
