Ok, time to start picking tires for the new shoes. Of course, size is going to be 215/35-18. What we're looking for is outstanding dry traction, as good as it gets for the tire series wet traction, and good cornering abilities. Now.......
Originally we were looking at the Yokohama Parada Spec-2. But, the lack of wet traction turned us off to those. While perusing around, I happened to stumble across the following tire: Linky To Tire -- Now, don't let the fact that it's a General tire scare you off. It's rated #1 in category just ahead of the BFG g-Force T/A KDW2, which is our other choice right now at almost twice the price. The General gives up a little cornering and turn-in stability to the g-Force, but makes up for it with wet traction and ride noise/comfort. So......$86 each for the General Exclaim UHP, or $159 each for the KDW2's. For a comparison LOOK HERE. -------------------- |

I would go with the UHP, if there is not much
differences between them. You'll be saving alot of money for all 4. -------------------- ![]() 98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |
