Weather finally warmed up around here so off come the Blizzaks and on go something exciting!
17x8 +45 Enkei RPF1 in OAKOS exclusive gloss gunmetal. (Big thanks to @

Tires are 245/40r17 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500
Steering got a little heavier as expected, but the grip went up, and the instability of the winter tires is gone. The tires respond well, and the car still feels playful at lower speeds, as well as more confident at higher speeds. I was worried that I couldn't break traction in a reasonably safe way, but even after scrubbing the tires in well, pulling on the wheel harder and applying throttle will easily step the rear out. Overall I'm extremely happy with them!
