Hey, I don't really want to create a new thread for such a similar question, at the same time, I don't want to jack your thread...
Hopefully you get something out of my question as well.

If I were to stick with stock wheel size 17x7, is it worth it to switch tires? Like the OP, I'm not doing too many mods.

I just want something that performs a bit better. Should I just leave the stock rubber and then upgrade to 17x8 after stock wears out?

I've only gone to a few track events, but I enjoy spirited runs etc... and am considering some decent tires:
PSS
RE11a
V12
rs3
Rivals

question becomes, is it worth it to get these nice tires on only a 7width wheel?

as an aside, are the sidewalls of v12's really that soft and bad?


Thanks!

OP, if you don't like my invasion of your thread, let me know and I'll start a separate one.
