I need to buy tires. I was thinking Bridgestone RE71r. I have heard good things. My 5(?) year old nittos with 3 auto crosses on them and unknown mileage and 4 winters are dead. Just looking for a good auto cross tire that can pull some occasional street use as well. (Don't drive my car much). If anyone has input for 205/50-15s I'm all ears. FWIW I've driven hankook rs3's & they were good (on a Miata) but they don't offer a 205/50 as far as I know?
-
What about the Dunlop Direzza Star Spec? I've heard a lot of good things about them. I know Jordan ran them and loved them. I'm sure he can chime in with personal experience.
-
I have been quite happy with the Direzza z2's thus far, but I haven't put my front ones on yet.
Buy sticky tires, be happy.
15's are funny and I don't know sizing options for them. -
for 15's if you need 205/50 then just buy some g-force Rivals. I don't know anybody who runs Direzzas in your size.

I am between the G-force rivals and the potenza re71r. Both 205/50-15. They are about the same price and have heard good things about both

Tires arrived
Ended up going with the re71r
Then I cleaned the garage

just in time for the end of the season!

Yeah, luckily they aren't deli meat and won't expire

As long as you don't wait ten years to put them on haha. Not much is worse than dried out tires...
-
Ha! I will be using them yet this year. Then for winter I'll yank them off and bring them inside.

Good catch. It doesn't really matter but I took it off so I don't get boxes of shit sent to me (snap)

15's are funny and I don't know sizing options for them.I have a second hand set of these on my beater ix. They're really nice grip wise, but for the life of me I can't figure out why they make them with a flat spot on them. I guess with the m20 having been design for back up generators on the dolphin-class nuclear submarines the low speed rattles help people hear me coming.
On a side note, anyone know how to diagnose an abs light??

I have no idea what you are talking about lol.
Did someone maybe lock one up and flat spot it before you got them? I lack abs and locked one up (not for long) and it did flat spot.In regards to your ABS question
