tires

hey I would like to know what tires you guys have used and what you think of them. I need to get some new ones for a 400WHP+ RSX so I am thinking about Nittos or Falkons so if any of you have something to add please do.

$100T2 is a glorious beacon of light
If you have a 400 whp RSX, then you shouldn't need advice on tires.

they are "Falkens." for a guy with a car like that you sure don't seem to know much.

because reading tire reviews will never be the same as first hand experience so I would like to hear what some of you on this forum have used. I have heard good things about Kumhos but from what I know they take a while to get to operating temp.
And word to the wise advice is only going to make your car perform better they day you think you don't need it is the day you will stop learning.

sorry I didn't know that you had to be logged in to view the page, I don't have a dyno sheet because the tune that I am running is not mine. Last time I was home to do the install I didn't have time to dyno the car so I got my friends tune. We have almost the same build so it was the best way to get the car back on the road......but he made 404whp in Texes during the summer and I was driving the car in Wisconsin in the middle of the winter so I don't have any dought that I was making a little more then he was. I am pushing 15lbs from a GT30R on a sidwinder manifold. I will post my info here in a second let me copy and past it.

lol congrats you know nothing about a K20 15psi is right around 400 depending on the type of exhaust manifold you are running and 25psi will be closer to 670whp......by the way an RSX is FWD so RWHP is a little hard for me to come by. In truth your right I can't say that I have exactly this HP rating from my car but when you are looking at supporting modifications it is really good to have an idea of what torque and hp numbers they are going to need to support. Further more with the same car, almost the same turbo kit (mine is a little better then his....in my mind) and the same tune and colder ambient temps would make the same or more HP then he would.
