driving style?
its a ferrari !
i drive fffffaaaasssttt .
with the current factory rims and michiln tires the car feels more like a drift racer than the fabled car on rails. it drifts when accelerating through turns or in heavy straight accelerating. my feeling is that for such a low cog, mid engine car the performance should be far better. must be the tires? |

How wide are your rims Dan? If the fronts are 7" and rears 8" then probably 205/55 on the fronts and 225/50 on the rear. You'll get a lot of opinions on brands. Bridgestones might be one choice. Check it all out at tirerack.com and you can play with combinations to see what might be available. |

Dan it a matter of choise and your driving style. Ig you are looking for a smooth ride with good wet and dry performance you can go to any one of the big name tire mfg's. Another consideration is cost and also performance and or good looks. I would suggest you call tirerack (see their web page) and talk to one of the folks there. They are pretty knowledgable and can steer you to the righ tire for your application. |
