325's

I don't need super aggressive summer tires... Too many choices!

you don't need summer tires at all for the style of driving you do

 

[bootyluvr]

I understand I don't. Then recommend me something instead of poking fun at me for my driving style! I liked the 235/45/17 but don't have to go with that size.

325/30/19 = steam roller.

 

[07TLX]

I would need some serious camber for those tires.... I am gonna try and squeeze 235's under the car this year...

 

[death_roll]

if/when I get the BRZ, just some measly 215/45R17 pilot supersports or star specs will do

go big or go home

 

[death_roll]

go big or go home

I won't need much to pull away from the group, and I'll prove it

 

[k757]

I may do a ride along with ETF or mamarazzi to see how to improve

I have been very happy with Hankook ventus v4 es and ventus v12 evo. If you want a summer tire the v12s are great, especially for the money. If you want a little longer tread life and all seasons, the v4s are a good option.

Blah blah blah. Oh wait, I was running 205/50/15s and you had 215s on your legacy. The pizza cutter club along with the fits.

Prob not a bad idea. Although they may not want the extra weight.

I had no trouble on a 3400lb car with 215 width summer tires, imagine a 2700lb car Keith, you'll desperately be chasing two shitboxes, a 25year old BMW, and a rear wheel drive n/a Impreza

 

[webby]

maybe some fits... I asked etf is he'd be joining

I'm ok with that, always going to be faster than me out there... or not

Good. I was going to send him a text. We were trying to determine a good time for a spring n ga run. He said Jill has to recover first from back problems.

Not really sure yet. I was trying to narrow down the size first. The rs-3, nt05, re-11, or similar. The falkens have to get warm to be sticky, so not them. Will prob come down to cost and what I find on sale.

Richard

I know you don't have time to warm up the tires, but i'll still suggest the Falken Azenis 615K's. They've been great tires.

I think part of the prob with the bmw is rear subframe bushings. It should help keep the rear planted, and hopefully keep it from stepping out without warning.
