Ok, im in the market for new tires. I dont want to best thing i can buy cause im going to get new wheels within a year or so and dont know if the old tires will fit....... that being said i do launch my car, and i need grip when doing that. I dont have HP figures because i am getting the Access Port pro tune on wednesday next week. All i know is I take STI's. So i would assume over 300 at the belt. So can n e 1 help me pick a good tire that will give e grip with the added power. (05 WRX Stock Wheels)

wow, your so helpfull.......................................... .................................

Major welcome to you :lol:

But consider how little info you gave and what you asked.

Type of launches - pro-solo, drag...?

Wheel size - now and future?

Suspension mods - lowering springs, coilovers...?

not to mention if you need both wet and dry traction (probably don't need to handle the snow since you live in Arizona)

well i live in AZ and colorado, but I wont be in snow anymore no. I will have lowering springs next week or so. I dont know the size, most tires come in different sizes im looking more for a model. Stock coilovers, drag launches........... A tire that is better than stock but not REALLY expensive. (stock potenza's)

most importantly, whats ur budget?

>1000

for $1000 u could get just about all the best street tires out there. take a look at Bridgestone RE-01R, Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, Michelin Pilot Sport 2. im only suggesting these tires because u have such a high budget, if u want more of a bang for the buck tire u could check out Falken FK451/FK452, Hankook RS2, Kumho MX. these tires are reasonable priced while still providing tons of traction.

these 2 websites will be very useful for u:

....deeeeeewwwwwwwwwwd...ya gots LOTSA lernin ta dew.......and don't try drag racin yer rig too much unless ya gots lotsa $$$ fer a new clutch and tranny....'cuz ya put good tires on yer rig and ya launch and ya gonna blow the tranny, more than likely....or the clutch if ya feather it---the right way ta launch......but gettin it just right 'aint easy....so be careful livin 1/4 mile at a time 'cuz the ankle express is only a clutch dump away ;)

sounds you like really need grippy tires, i also suggest some high performance intercooler fluid to improve drag times.

most tires come in different sizes

really? i didnt know that.

you want to spend >1000 and you want really grippy tires... i think it'll be really easy to find just about any top end competition tire and youd be fine, just give tirerack a gander. given that you simultaneously have stock coilovers and lowering springs, i doubt you'd be able to tell the difference between any competition tire with a price tag of >250 per tire.

find someone selling there RE070's off a STI...

Well I dont go to the drags that often, but i do love to launch because its fun. haha plus I wll be gettin a new clutch soon.
