Thread: Tires for Boost

My car held 2nd decently even with 400+whp until I changed to my hyperco suspension. Now it's "bye bye tires".

I think the softer suspension, even with more weight transfer, soaked up a lot of energy that would normally go into breaking the tires loose.

Also I have a bigger turbo that spools a lil later so it makes it easier to get traction.

What suspension did you have before the Hyperco?? and are you saying that the Hyperco suspension improved or decreased your traction?

Also, I'd like to add that I have been running ZE912 225/50/15 tires for a few months now on my DD on a stock suspension/wheels and have noticed NO rubbing or issues of any kind.

Okay guys, getting ready to make my purchase...

BFG T/A KDW's (KDW 2's?), or Zeix RT-615's?

215x50x16 in size.

215's, you got some money stashed away?

Oops!

I meant 225's.

I really need some myself hehe

Well I still can't decide which set to go with!

Go with Azenis and burn them off frequently, or go with KDW (or KDW 2's) and not burn them as frequently, but still burn them (and pay more money)

you shouldnt burn through azeni's as fast as you would believe. i had a set that lasted be about two years about a year and a half on my turbo car being taken out on the weekends and once or twice during the week and then on my all motor car getting non stop burn outs.

i dont know anything abou thte kdw's care to enlighten me ?

stratton.

Ken Block uses KDW's on his Gymkhana car, although that is an entirely different situation. I plan on getting a set of RT-615's.
