Re: Soft wheels feedback & conclusion



> What wheel and tire combination are you running Ben?

I've got 13x6" BBS/Mahle's w/ 185/60 Yokohama 008RSII's.  I was running
these all the time, but I didn't drive the car much so I wasn't worried
about wearing them out too fast.  The real drawback to these tires is that
they're too small for street driving.  Even with the Quaife I can break
traction at will.  The gearing advantage was great on the autocross course,
but I need more meat.  I love the look of 13's but it's so damn hard to find
decent tires.  Now Randy block goes and puts monster 215/40 15's on his car
and gets me all excited for huge tires.  I'm thinking about getting 15x8"
wheels and running the same tires as Randy, the Toyo T1-S.
