Stock is 205/45-17, right? Tire Rack has the Exsta SPT in a 215/45-17 that would work fine for $96 each. I'm on my second set of SPTs, and I've been quite pleased with them.
Tire choice for lowered NC
Hi all...
I am about to replace the Michelin Pilot's that came on my '07 NC, PRHT. My previous great experience with the Toyo T1S leads me toward the Toyo T1R's.
I have lowered the NC with an Eibach Pro Kit, and Tokico adjustables, for a total of a little more than 1.75" drop. I can't have it any lower... drag too much as it is.
My question is whether the T1R, with the softer sidewall, will lower the car any more?
Other suggestions for a comparable tire? UTOG 280 with AA A ratings...
Thanks

Does the SPT have a AA traction rating?

I like the Falken Ziex 912 better... Enough grip in the cold & wet to save your ass, but they still have great road feel (and that AA traction rating you crave). I actually have the 512's on the Miata at the moment, but they're not Z rated, and you have a lead foot!

Edit:
Good grief! And at $77 per tire, hard to pass up in the 215-45/17 size that will give you another .1 inch off the ground...

Thanks...
I've also heard some good things about the Falken FK452, know anything about these?
