Should I go with the Rival-S or the Re-11 ? Price is close so that doesn't really matter.
What you guys recommend wear/grip wise?
Feedback much appreciated.
PS: I don't mean to hi-jack the thread just thought it is a good place to ask. |
I'm planning to get wheels/tires solely for autox soon. I'm leaning towards the RE-71R. But if you're going to daily drive with them, then you might want something different -- I've heard they wear more.
This brings up another question on TIRE SIZE. On stock width wheels (to stay in B Street class), what size is generally recommended for Autox? The car could use some extra grip in the front for sure, but I don't want to change the feel (e.g getting mushy) and I don't want the tires to bulge over the rim much because that doesn't look good. So A, B or C?
RE71
A -- Square
275/35R18 x 4
B -- Staggered #1
265/35R18
275/35R18
C -- Staggered #2
255/40R18
275/35R18
