Well, I dunno. I'm currently on the RE070s, and they grip, but longevity is horrid (probably won't get 15k total on them, if I'm not judicious with rotations) and they're a little loud. However, the grip on them is tremendous. This seems to be the wheel "model" above the RE070's, so I want to try them out.

I do believe the Scuderia versions are the OEM tires on the F430 as well, hence the Scuderia name.

Tire Rack---2questions

1. Is there any tire in your personal preference that you would suggest over the kumho SPT(summer ones) that are in the same performance range and price. I need something that will last at least 1.5yrs.

2. Can you special order Rota wheels?

Your toll-free number cannot be reached from Canada. Do you have an alternative number?

May have already been asked, but do you get any credit/commission from sales if your name is in the referrer box?

I just placed an order for some brakes and misc parts for my daily driver, about $220 worth, and I decided I'd toss your name in there just in case

Ok...... So what i'm looking for is a tire/rim track set up for solo II, in 07 I ran motegi traklite's(14lbs) with some Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R 215/45/17. It worked well but what i'm looking for is a more aggressive size tire that wont rub. As far as rims go the motegi where nice, but they are oem size 17x7. Price is not an issue so do you have any suggestions on a more aggressive size tire and rim size that i wont have rubbing issures. Any help would be appreciated.... Also, I believe your company sells a fender rolling gizmo that if needed I would purchase as well.....

Similar question, Stock 08 SI rim (17x7.0) with Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R 225/45/17. Will it rub?

well using the link on this forum to order from tirerack.com will give the forum credit. if you list my name on the last page of checkout, i will also get credit, and while i appreciate it, my main concern is helping you with what info i can give. be sure and use the link on the forum to get to tirerack so the forum gets credit and stays up!

thanks guys!

habitat, I have had a few members call and setup orders for that size with no rubbing issues. now some others say it does rub a little in lock to lock, so i think its one of those catch22 things. shouldnt, but still may

sorry about the delays as well, we have been swamped beyond belief, but it is slowing down now

which tires would you recommend? i think im leaning towards getting the Yoko's. both seem very similar in ratings and performance.

I called the toll free # last week and ordered 4 tires. It works for Nova Scotia. And on a side note-- the tires were dropped at my door in four days. I couldn't believe how prompt tirerack was at getting the tires out to me.
