Shortly my celi will be complete once I get going on converting to AWD, tranny installed and waiting for the rear subframe and diff. (hence st204.5)
I've already picked up a nice set of 16x7' of Lightweight Konig Rims: but now im at a lost for what rubber I want to put on them, my existing rims for my pre-turbo'd/converted car were 15x7 with proxy 4 all seasons which i will use on this car in the winter. For the rest of the year I want a reason tire but cant chose if I want a semislick or a road going tire thats decent in the rain... Please don't turn my thread into a dick measurng competition about how traction is not an issue in an AWD car My choices thus far: (size 225/50VR16 or 225/45R/16) Potenza Re-11's http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...l=Potenza+RE-11 Potenza SO-2's http://www.tyretown.com/1100_bridgestone/potenzaso2.htm Toyo R888's http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?tirebran...del=Proxes+R888 |

get BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW. they offer really good grip in dry and rainy conditions, but have relatively soft compound giving it that more 'rubber' feel unlike those ziex tires that kinda feels like plastic.
