      star specs are more autocross oriented. newer design and likely a different compound. mine will mostly see curvy road duty so I picked the dz101s for increased tread wear (though star specs are not bad in that regard)

      now.. time to find some wheels!

        Too bad they don't have anything in 215/45/16

        wanted to run 225 rear and 215 front, maybe next promotion they will have some. And fuck 205, that is for narrow bitches xD

          Because 60 is a nicer sidewall height than 65

                    honesly, just because they were cheaper

                    just wanted something to hold me over (plus, my rear subframe mounts and TABs are shot, so i'm going to wear the tire kinda quick anyway)

                      the tires i ordered are out of stock...

                      does anyone know what i should get for staggered salad shooters? i ordered 205-195 40 16 for both front and back. and of course they are out of those. i need to find out if i can get a different size

                        I ordered 205/45/16 for my 16x8.5 and 16x9 RS's. You could probably run 205/45 on the front and 215/45 in the rear.

                          I'm probably going to run 205/50/16 Federal 595 RS-R's. They run really wide so they're more like a 215 or 225. A set only costs about $360.

                            My RS3 Order turned out to be a bust. Backordered tires don't qualify.
