Basically, I'm wanting to know (from ppl who drive swapped celicas) what you are running up front for traction. I'm not talkin about the strip, just a good set of front tires that won't spin all the way thru first and second, or something that won't just spin from a 2nd gear roll. What have you used with success?
Swapped celica tire choice? - 6G Celicas Forums
I don't know what tyre brands are easy to get over there but any semi slick will do a better job than just a ridiculously expensive all rounder, only get about 10-20 000km's out of them if you're lucky, have a look if you can get Kuhmo KU36, I had them last and I loved them.
The KU36 looks very competitive to the falken azenis rt-615k. I hear nothing but good things about both. Hmm. My only problem is that I'm running 15"s. Not that I care terribly about looks, but the only offerings I see for semi-race tires is a 195-225/50 profile. Even though I'm lowered 1/2" all around, the wheel well gap would look rediculous. Price you pay for performance, I guess, lol.
Yeah definitely compared to the 615's, they are a great tyre but probably a bit more than the kuhmos, Federal 595rs are another one which are great for the money!
225's on 15's would most likely have way too much roll, I wouldn't go anymore than 205, hunt around you should be able to pick some up in a good size.

Any good street tire will do. Just keep in mind that 15in wheels are really easy to spin no matter what you throw on there.
I have a set of nitto neogens in 225-45-17s and I like them a lot. Great traction and good value...but not the best winter tire.

im under the impression that youre gonna spin thru 1st and second and such no matter what (like lagos said especially with 15s) but ive always heard people swear by falken

I can imagine it would spin 1st and 2nd no matter what but good tyres are going to help

I had those pilots before the toyos I have now and I found them great but noisy compared to my toyo proxes tpt
they are noisy, but they do grip...that's what he wanted right or did he want comfort?
Look into a set of fedral tires, they are cheap and sticky

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...eModel=Ecsta+XS you won't regret getting them! Federal 595RS are another good one that I used on the track numerous times and I love them, I believe they wear a little worse than the KU36 kuhmos though which I wore out in about 20k of road driving lol.
