i like the dunlop dz101's... create smokescreens nicely and have a good amount of grip... which is nice for 3rd and 4th gear slides

cant really help you on tire size or anything until you tell everyone wat you have for suspension.. everyone is setup differently..

Or so you've heard??? or do you know this first hand? Where the fuck do YOU get 4th gear at? pics/video or banz.

Azenis RT615's are amazing.
Federal 595's are cheap and DEFINATELY a big bang for buck.

preferable tire setup:
225/40/18 *(F) Azenis RT615 or 235/40/18
245/45/18 (R) Dunlop Direzza or Federal 595
