Stock Potenzas are horrible...

[Silver Ecstasy]

Stock tires. 3 years/35500 miles. New tires go on next month. yes But i feel safer in rain then where they were new. Dont now why.

Delusional. Buy new tires please before you start claiming those are drag radials to your buddies. That's nothing to brag about.

holy hell, 35k wtf is wrong with you

he feels safer in the rain cuz the car rides soo much smoother (dont tell him hes driving on water and not pavement tho)

I only got about 6500 miles out of the stock rubber... they seemed to work OK, but then I switched to Kumho XS's which are much better, performance-wise anyways. I'm at 15,000 miles now and the Kumhos are about shot, so next up I will be putting on Yoko A08's.... http://www.racingtireguide.com/yokohama-advan-neova-ad08.html

I really loved the RE050A. I had mine for about 9k KM (1Km = 2.2mi) and i was scared of rain when i hit 7.5k Km. I now run stock sized Toyo T1R wich run much smoother but less sticky than the stocker.

And for those who run tire worn as much as ALIEN3 ones:

YOUR ARE STUPID AND A DANGER ON THE ROAD! GET TIRES NOW!

No i know they arent safe, I know they aint drag radials. I have the new tires ill put them on next month. I knew i was dropping the car and would need alignment. so did it on the old tiers. But that was 4500 mikles ago. They did wear pretty even. But i wasnt to concerned till like 25,000 when the wear bar started to wear. I dont drive to hard. BUt yep i will be changing them. I do know its unsafe.

And that's your justification? That you needed an alignment anyhow? It's not like those tires wore down that bad overnight. That's been like that for a WHILE!

how do you like the Cobb's? I'm thinking either those or Eibach's, but I'm not sure yet. Also, anything else done suspension wise?

I have a Cobb rear bar on the soft setting.

I don't have anything except the stockers to compare to ride-wise, so I can't really say much. They're a little harsh, nothing I can't live with daily. I'm going to be replacing the dampers in the Spring and the stock springs will be going back in, only because where I live even a little lowering means lots of scraping and I'm tired of it. I can't imagine driving with springs that drop even lower. I'll be going stock springs and Konis. I'm having a brain cramp and can't think of the initials, but not the yellows, the other ones that vary the damping automatically.

Koni FSD's?

Koni FSD's?

Those would be them. Thank you. I could have looked it up, but I knew someone here would know.

And mine were replaced becausei had 2 seasons of autox on them along with a fewtrack days. The outer tread had become superheated since I don't care about wear when at the track. I think in total they lasted me 60 autocrosses and 10k on the street. That's damn impressive they weren't completely done, maybe 5k left, but that would be pushing it

60 events in two years ??

Holy balls
you have 5K just back and forth to events

 

[8.5MS3]

Lol yea, autox here typically starts in april and runs till november. Also having bmw, porsche, and scca car clubs all competing at the same track, there's almost always an event every sat and sunday. So events rack up quick. I still had my temp registration in the window at my first autox
