if you're on a budget, meaning like 700$ range, v12s are the way to go. def a good "beginner" tire that dont hurt the wallet.

like shawn said above, spending a little bit more at around $1100, rs-3's will be awesome. that's what i am running, up from falken 452's, and it's a MASSIVE difference, and are def what i would recommend.

z1 star specs and Advan ad08's are your high end price choices, but will have basically the best performance.... will run you around $1300

so it depends on budget, usage, etc. v12's are a great option, they still have stiffer sidewalls and good grip. and if you wanna step it up from them, get the rs3's.... thats my opinion, and most of the Z guys.

rob, for track set up, i would recommend closing the staggered differences. i would recommend 255 and 275 at least. i got a great deal on 265/285 so that's what I went for.

I know - I keep asking people if they are going out to your shop anytime and everyone always says no. Who is going to your shop next? I will take it to them. Chris?
