Tire upgrade thoughts please?

What are your current alignment specs? Camber/toe? Guess the stock tires are just that crappy then. If you're looking for summer dry tires, I would give the R888 a try.

Guess the stock tires are just that crappy then. If you're looking for summer dry tires, I would give the R888 a try. With under 500rwtq, you should be completely fine in 3rd gear, and partially fine in second gear. I'd still get the alignment specs checked out if I were you. It's not enough power to spin 4th unless the 275 rears are already down to shreds.

If you want to do R888's, there are 295 rears available. They under-rate the widths... the 295 width R888's are more like 305 on other street tires.
