I got a raise and some surprise cash. Should I sell my current tires and get some UHP summer tires that actually let me put my foot down in 2nd gear? Or should I wear them out first? They simply just can't handle the torque.
>current tires
Pilot Sport A/S 3 (about 4000km on them)
>looking to get next
Firehawk Indy 500 (good grip, great treadwear)
Azenis RT615K+ (great grip, okay treadwear)
Pilot Super Sports (great grip, good treadwear, high cost)

RE71R are the best tire going for the Fiesta.
I would put another 16000 km on your current tires before replacing them. Also worth considering if you want to swap to light weight wheels and going with a different tire size.

I want a DD tire, RE71R's are one step away from Hoosier's and the 200TW rating is a straight lie so they can dominate autocross.
I got lightweight wheels for my summers (stockers are for winter now), but they're still 17x7. Aside from the stock size, 215/40/17 and 205/45/17 should both be good and have minimal effect on gearing/speedometer readings.

Use your current tires before getting new ones.
I've always found Michelins to be good on my ST. Why do you want to get rid of them?
>>16833040
Those are the tires I would get. PSS might be slightly discounted since the Pilot Sport 4s recently were released.
I think anything you go for is going to have greatly reduced treadwear, especially if you've done any tuning.

My ST has about 35+ HP and 50+ torque over stock, and I can't really put my foot down until I'm most of the way through 2nd gear. I feel like I'd have more fun if I had something that could just grab better.
>>16832990
No. You should sell it and buy a car that's actually good
>>16833093
But it is good.

I got 400whp in a rwd car and cant pin the throttle in second gear (40-65) with my 265 -35 pilot super sports.
But i almost can. A 50 roll and ill hook on the right surface. Its one of the best DD tires. I can get nt05s and hook but i can forget about driving in the rain. With MPSS you can still make that rain your bitch.

>can't really put my foot down
tires are cold and/or road surface

Does anyone have input on the Azenis RT615K? A new version (615+) is out on Tire Rack and they come in my ideal size.
