<![CDATA[Tires]]>O.K. I already sell tires for a living but htere is a few brands that I'm not too familiar with. I would like some input from people with actual EXPERIENCE with different tires under severe handling conditions. Such as Auto-X etc. The tiresthat I'm most leaning towards are the Yokohama Parada Spec-2 and the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2's. Any input positive or negative on these tires would be greatly appreciated. Or, what do you run if not these?

Not quite what I had in mind as far as performance level. But, thanks for the input nonetheless. Oh, and as far as cost goes.... If it gives me what I want then I'll spend a little extra. Hell, I may just buy a set of 15's and some super stickys to run track days with and keep a useable tuner tire on there for normal driving. The only thing stopping me is trying to haul the crap around to and from these events with the limited trunk space that the good ol jellybean has to offer. I guess if I could get some real grip out of them and get a summer worth of use out of a set, I'd be happy. That really limits the playing field though.

x2 on them. the RT-615s are a great tire, i know Kyle has had them on his eg and even race at the fargo one and then drove with them to minot for their auto-x. My .02 cents i would get them. i hope to have them on my car when it's running.

On here however, I do know most of the people that respond and know whether or not to take there reply seriously.

I want a true handling tire. As a rule of thumb.... if it grips in the corners good, then it USUALLY grips good off the line. Besides, my car isnt the ultimate hp monger anyway.
