I was wondering if anyone has used Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec tires before and if so had an thoughts on them. The surveys on them seem to be great as well as the reviews, just wondering what you guys thought. Im looking to get 225/50/16 for my 7th gen wheels. They seem like they would bite well for my 3s.

how is it possible to get50,000 miles on a 200utg rated tire, that's an extreme performance summer tire? I have a pair of yoko s drive. I'll probably get 15,000 miles out of them with almost no tread left.
I've had 225/50R16 toyo proxes 4 on tanabe lowering springs. They rubbed the front inside of the wheel wells. nothing biggy but just saying. It would be nice if a company made 225/45R16 tires. Best fitting tires for the 7th gen (6.5 inch wide wheel) is a 205/55R16 This post has been edited by BonzaiCelica: May 8, 2012 - 3:29 PM -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

Best fitting tires for the 7th gen (6.5 inch wide wheel) is a 205/55R16 i wanted to go with a wider tire so i can put the power down. i ran Toyo Proxes4 last summer 205/55/R16 and got zip for traction. i know that the 3sgte setup with fwd is basically useless anyway but i was hoping going with a 225 tire would help the cause. i agree that a 225/45/R16 would be a great tire of choice, however not possible at the moment lol. how bad did the tires rub on the inner well? maybe i should go with a 215 instead.. im ordering tires soon so any tips would be helpful.. my other tire of choice would be BFGs KDW2s -------------------- st205 powered ss3 coupe
