Correct!

And they semi-suck for lateral changes in direction... I'll try to clarify as best I can. They grip well once you commit to a corner, and they provide sufficient feedback to let you know...

I must retract my previous statement - I've found traction nirvana from a completely unexpected tire. The Continental DW is apparently fabricated with unicorn jizz, because the 340 TWR and tread...

Just checking back in! I've made my turbo swap, putting down ~360+ now (no official dyno), and traction issues are getting to be a headache. I've installed an Airlift kit in the rear coils to...

BNR S3 V2 goes in Saturday, wish me luck!

Don't get me wrong, a lot of the guys have pushed the stock block to 500+whp, but it's a time bomb at that point. It's the massive torque we make at lower RPM that throws rods, and most of the guys...

It's a Cobb EBCS that I'll be running in 3 port.

The turbo details:

GT2871 compressor wheel
New GT28 non ball bearing CHRA
360 degree thrust assembly
upgraded wastegate actuator assembly...

The wheels are gunmetal gray from the factory for '13's - and although I wish they were 8" instead of 7.5, I'll be keeping them for awhile for their nice appearance.

The Laser Interceptors cost...

Spose I could toss a couple more pics in here.

This was brand new and untainted.

It's the tech package, including HIDs that turn with the car,...

I had an EP3

But I wanted boost, and the Mazdaspeed3 was calling my name.
They're notorious for being very complicit to minor bolt-ons and a decent tune, and...

No doubt they'd ease my frustration, but I've dropped a good bit of coin in the electronics (laser jammer and radar detector) this winter - so some FD (RX-7) wheels and slicks will probably be a...

310whp 360tq, probably a bit more this time of year with the cooler temps. Car weighs 3200lbs. I was fairly consistent with 2.13 being my best 60ft on Dunlop RE050's and seldom over 2.2s at the...

I promised to report back if I had some good news... and I think I do. This might seem odd, but I went with UHP all season Nitto Neo Gens 235/40/18. They're a soft compound low silica / high rubber...

I'm almost embarrassed I forgot about those tires - they were on my EP3 when I bought it! They cornered like beasts until they wore down, and it was almost as if the rubber compound changed and they...

Thanks for the reply, aLmk. I sort of figured there was no perfect compromise or everyone would be running them. I do live in Alabama, and snow accumulation on the roads is both rare and typically...

Hello all. I hate to make my first post a necro, but I really can't find good information anywhere else about streetable tires for high HP (or in my case high TQ) FWD applications. I sold my EP3...
