Another!!! RE30 Boring thread
Here is my 2 cents on the 10" front and 11" rear 19" RE30's...... They are sick, and light.
Now as far as rubber is concerned I recommend the following, and dont let a vendor sell you anthing smaller. 285 out back and 265 out front MINIMUM!
I Phuced up and got 255 on the front and they are to stretched for my liking. As far as performance goes they seem to spin as fast as my 18" track wheels, but with a taller gear now cuz of the diameter of the tire. I went with some BFG KDW2 and let me tell you they are so much better than the weak sauce Toyo's (t1R's), those toyos are only good if your NA
Remember guys "light is right".
See front 255 tire on 10" rim = FAIL!!
Make sure to slap your vendor in the face if he tries to sell you 245 on a 10" wheel... Then tell him "Eagletanggreen told me to slap you".

Toyo T1rs and BFG KDW2 IMO are only good for the streets, and with that said I am comparing those two sets of tires to street applications. I would never take those tires to a road course/drag strip, I would kill myself.
For the road course I have only used Nitto NT01's and Hoosiers R6's. The Hoosiers are just plain sick, the nittos aren't that bad but nothing compared to the Hoosiers. On the strip I use a set of BFG Drag radials.
I would recommend the new Toyo R888 , they could serve a dual purpose in case you only have one set of wheels, for street and track.
