Beast Mode: Do You Like Your Tires Beefy? @Pure Automotive - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just thought I'd share the new setup, this setup is for the upcoming turbo setup on my car, I figured I would go as big is I can in the rear and find a front setup that doesn't look weird with such a big rear.

No modifications were made to fenders, fender liners, brake lines, etc. No spacers needed, these are stock fitment and this car is lowered only 1" on Eibach Pro Kit.

Enjoy!

What made you choose those tires? I had a set once found they wore quick, grip was meh, and useless in snow. But glad to see can fit wide without coilovers or poke.

I've had the opposite experience. I've been a Michelin dealer/installer for 6 years and they are by far the most praised tire that I sell for RWD sporty type cars. Tire life is irrelevant to me because I honestly don't think anything will last that long without being rotated and being likely to spin a lot with the turbo setup. But not 100% of people have the same experience with each kind of tire, so I believe you when you say that you didn't like them. I chose them because: Michelins are the best ride, comfort wise, in comparison to other brands IMO, I will have a separate set of rears for the track or intentional aggressive driving, so I wanted a set that I can have on for all my street driving and if I get caught in rain, I feel better having an all season style tire on for inclimate weather.

I like em beefy, but I think I will stick with my 245 width Pilot Super Sports.

Where do you guys order your tires from? Online (if so where?) or at a shop?

Should of guessed.

I'm new to most of this, so I hope you don't mind the dumb questions. Why the A/S+ over the Sport PS2? No huge difference?

Pure Automotive · 03-20-2013, 10:29 PM

Ps2s are not very good in wet, and they are generally more expensive too.

kanundrum · 03-20-2013, 10:55 PM

Looks great! I wonder how this will effect understeer. Bring it out to autox and try out! =D
