Street racing Tires ?

[BKJT05]

Just wanted to get opinions on best price/performance street racing tire??

Only going to be using tire during summer for my speed/racing rush i have to crave...I was thinking either Fuzion ZRI's or Yokohama Prada Spec-2...

Tell me what you think???

Also tires will be 215/35/18 if that matters in performance....(first)

Never heard of "street racing tires". I have the fuzions right now. They're pretty good for the money, but as I've come to find out, better options are out there.

Yea throw a couple of toyo stickers on your side skirt, that will give you about 20whp easy.

just wanted opinions on my which tires, not my choice of words haha...

toyos make great tires.

The last thing you'd want are 18's. If your street racing I'd put some 15's on. Those tires are only so so too. I would characterize them as high performance not super performance. Street Racing Tires LOL!

to be honest this car is not a race car so for street racing (drag i assume) it really doesnt matter seeing as how there wont be a problem hooking up. I had the ZRI's they were good tires amazing side wall, I ran for about 5 months with a three inch long chunk out of my rim. I have a set of barum tires 205/40/17 on now im not to happy with them though. I have continentals on my PT and they are pretty damn sweet. def. no 18's really dont do it!!!!!


any mods???

First off, don't be an idiot and race on public streets. Keep the racing on the track or autocross it. That being said...

For all out street legal max. performance tire, you can't be the Falken Azenis Rt615. Other great choices are the Toyo Proxes T1s and T1r as well as the Pirelli PZero Nero. Check out www.tirerack.com, www.discounttiredirect.com and www.edgeracing.com.

Do you mean like tokyo drift or initial D street racing? In that case get some bald tires, that'll make drifting easy!

StReEt RaCiNg TiReS yO!

You have a Protege 5.
You have 18" wheels.
You are looking at Fuzion and Pradas.
You are going to lose.
A lot.
You have much to learn.

#1 - Don't street race.
#2 - If you own a P5, see #1.

LOL... leave the kid alone. he must be like 17 and just got his car from his parents.

But to agree with others, don't street race. why? is it worth it? take it to the track.

There are alot of tire choices out there. Keep that F&F off the streets.

How would you like it if someone like you came along and killed your parents b/c they got the "urge" to "street race"?
