Good Tires For FI?

G37sHKS · 09-24-2011, 02:32 PM

So what tires are you guys using after installing SC or TT

I have PS2 275 on the rear and im having a serious bad traction all the way till 4th gear (7AT here)

Please dont say Slick or Semi slick tires, I drive the car daily so i dont wanna change tires every month.

Toyo r888 for the rear and you will get traction if they make the size you need.

I run R-11's.. Depending on the temp I can get decent traction in 2nd and full traction in 3rd.

I just got the 1st pic that came up with the tire, so he could see the tire tread.

Red__Zed · 09-25-2011, 04:12 PM

Are you primarily concerned with straight line traction or turning?

Michelin Pilot Super Sport

Have them on now and love them. Can't speak for FI power though. Just mentioning it as a possible contender with great traction.

Fatter rubber?

I can still break the 305s loose from time to time.

It's not like there is a magic tire that solves this 'problem'. Such is life when you make more power. The only thing that makes cars like a 458 Italia hook up well is the advanced traction control software/systems.

May not be what you want, but Micky Thomson just released a 305/35/19 in the ET street series...

hmmm gonna have to take a peek at that.

my 305 30 19 RE11s did not impress... they just blow right off all day long. no where near as sticky as my R888s were, which is probably what i will be going back to. Everyone said to try the RE-11s instead of staying with R888s... well, they was wrong!

people who think that they are going to give up a little traction for longer tread life and get the RE11s, think again! When all they do is spin, they dont last any longer. My R888s on my more powerful 350z hooked up better and lasted longer due to it. For reference, my RE-11s mileage was roughly like so... about 2000 miles as NA with 2.5 degree neg camber, then i boosted the car and put the camber at 1.5 degrees, and its gone another 6700 miles boosted. They are absolutely done, probably a couple hundred more miles before the steel cords are showing. So I guess 9000 miles isnt terrible but I need to start getting 2nd gear to be a little useable.

I am going to crawl back to my R888s wishing I never left.
