Tires in the Rain

Post by nismo »

I have a question. How are everyone's tires in the rain? I have the Goodyear Eagle tires on mine. And everytime it rains, I take off and tires have a very good chance of breaking loose. I don't know why, but can someone explain why these stock tires suck soo bad! Thanks for the replies. O yeah, my car only has 20k miles on it.Inder

I have Kumho Ecsta Supras and they're stellar in the rain...Though lately, I seem to be a little uneasy at high speeds -- feel as if I'm starting to hydroplane. I sense my tread is likely getting low...but the dry traction is still remarkable.I got the car with RS-A's on them...they were great on dry, but their wet traction left a lot to be desired...Be careful with those -- and when they were out, get a DECENT set of wet/dry tires...

Yeah. these tires worked out very well for me in the winter. but in the rain, they're terrible. I don't know. I think I'll convince my dad to let me upgrade to better tires.Inder

The Ecsta Supras ran me about 105 a tire...the same price I would have paid for RS-As!
