Advice needed on tires for Pure Turbo upgrade
I'm planning on upgrading my turbo's to Pure Stage 2 HF next year, and as I'm on winter tires right now and waiting for my wheels to finish production from Richland Forged, I've been going back and forth on what tires would be the best choice for spirited daily driving and the occasional roll race.
I only plan on running a custom 93 octane tune and joining the 600hp club if possible, and I'd like to be able to put the down the power as best as possible in a car that's primarily street driven. My wheel spec's will be F:19x9.5 et22 and R: 19x11 et38. My initial thought was to go with PS4S in 265/35r19 and 305/30r19. Given the increased horsepower though I also considered RE-71R's, but the reviews I've read mention a huge jump in road noise as they wear down; and as a daily driver I think that would eventually rustle my jimmies. Another option I was looking at were the NT555g2's in front at 265/35r19 combined with the newer NT555rII's in the rear running 305/30 or 35r19. My only concern there would be the strength of the sidewalls being that it's technically a drag radial. I'm also aware that many forum members swear by R888R's, but I also drive in the rain at times and I've heard that they can be (for lack of a better term) asshole puckering in the wet. Any suggestions would be welcome! Last edited by MJ6; 10-18-2020 at 09:33 AM.. |

Currently running RE-71Rs in 265/35/19 and 305/30/19, on BBS CI-R 9.5ET25 and 10.5ET35 with MP-HAS. Good fit.
They need to warm up before they stick, but they work pretty good. There is the noise... I bought my set half price used, so I'll deal with the "raaaaaaa" noise on some road surfaces. I'd pick the MPS4S in your case since I hear they stick without being warmed. Since running BM3 Stg2 93o/E30 it's hard to stick traction from a drag start, so I use TQ reduction at 40&20 in 1&2. 3rd hooks pretty good. I'm going to try and fit 325 MPS4S next in the back.
