there are a million tires out there man, youre just looking for a sporty street tire. Iunno if i'd trust Rotas on track, going over bumpstrips and what not at speed btw. might wana look elsewhere.

unless youre not comfortable pushing the car at high speed or if youre completely new to high-performance/race driving i'd just keep oems, get some 400 treadwear tires..and invest in a set of wheels/r-comps for track sessions. rig up a trailer to tow em with.

 

I've used them on track and plenty of race cars and track cars use them. Never had any issues.

 

I like Edge Racing. They have pretty good prices on all their stock.

 

ive just seen a few pictures of people with Rota's that hit manhole covers and ended up cracking spokes and what not. spooky stuff.

 

Are blomys14's fenders rolled or does the low profile and camber give him the needed room?

 

i imagine your steering response will be great, but will you lose any grip overall with the less sidewall

 

Kumho 285s and 305s, Hoosier 285's 295s and 315's, all 30 profile. dont offer any higher, and you dont need a squirming sidewall to have grip. its not like the sidewalls on these things are made out of stone, I have a picture of my car going through a left hander with Kumhos on, you can see the rims edge sticking out about 3/4's of an inch from the sidewall. besides that I run about 25 pounds of air in my Kumhos...they grip for days and days.

 

My fenders are rolled, I'm not sure if they would fit without rolled fenders.

 

im running 19's..........would you suggest me staying with a 35 series tire or would i be ok. (or better off) running a 30 series,,, like 265/30/19 in the front and a 285/30/19 in the rear?.... i would like to keep the 19in rims i have now.

 

talkin about street tires or race tires? Unless youre forced induction id say the smaller diameter of an 18" race tire would help acceleration, the reduced unsprung/rotating mass wouldnt hurt either. If youre on street tires id run 35 series depending on the tire, the sidewalls are softer and youre more likely to dig a rim into the tarmac with 30 series street tires.

 

race tires, r comps. i was thinking the pzero corsa. they dont sell them in a 35 series just a 30 series....like i said i want to keep the 19in rim i have now. i dont plan on going fi

 

Why Pirelli? Looking for something with a little higher treadwear than full on DOT R's like Hoosiers and V710s?

if thats the reason look up A048's on Tirerack.com the 285/30R18 A048's are on sale for 298 bucks a piece, only got probably two sets left though.

 

sick wheels!!! i love them on my car.

they look great on a db as well

 

what suspension are u running?

 

Thanks. I guess I won't try to go that aggressive then. Nice looking setup, though.

again............I WANT TO KEEP MY 19IN WHEELS. yokahama dont make a048's in 19's
the pirelli's seems to be the ONLY choice i have..i have a 10in wheel in the front 11in in the rear.

 

and you cant go to a full DOT-R compound? Hoosier and Kumho make plenty of 19 inch tires. but to be honest i dont know what sizes you could run with 19" wheels, i'm only familiar with 18"ers.

Are the 19"s your DD wheels as well? if so I hope youre prepared to get a maximum of 5-7 thousand miles out of the tires. If theyre your DD's just invest in a set of fairly inexpensive (Enkei RPF1) 18x10's and wrap them with slick DOT-R's like Hoosier A6's, Kumho V710's, or BFGoodrich R1's.
