Sounds like Shane chimed in to early or else I probably would. The direzzas were on the bottom of the list but I do know that they are no the worst ones out there.

I probably would buy them though if you wanna package them up with the kosei's. ;)

As far as traction for you just tune with your 101's and rock the slicks on the street! Lol

Lol idk if I could let go of the kosei's ;-) but I would mount and balance them for you lol. Yeah i figured they aren't the best when I bought them but I figured I'm not going to get traction on the street regardless of what tire I run so I didn't want to spend too much on tires

As far as the dz101. I thought a lot of the evo guys were running them over the star specs that's why they made the list.

The R-S3 may be in the same class as the Star Specs, but the DZ101 is two down two performance categories on tirerack, and only ranked middle of the pack there. Definitely nowhere near the same performance. Maybe you were thinking of the ZII?

The nt555r and TQ are both drag radials, the R-S3 is more of all around high end summer tire with stiff sidewall, popular in autocross. If this is a mostly drag car then I vote go with the drag radials.

I've been using this thread to determine what will work.

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/frequently-answered-dsm-questions/286685-will-these-wheels-tires-fit.html

So the nittos by that guide are 3.1% taller than stock and the TQ's are 4.7%. Both are colored in orange and says not recommended. Concerns? Or do I listen to the guide?

The only tire that I have found available in a recommended size is a 225/50/16 and those are all all seasons. So performance wise I've only found the QTP'S.

Ah I didn't see that the nittos and toyos were not the same size. I can't find any drag radials in that size.

Since this is AWD you should be fine with the R-S3, they are a very good tire and you can have some fun in the corners with them too.

It's looking like either going with a high performance tire in a 225/50/16 or the QTP'S.

Is the 3% taller on the nitto 555R a bad thing though. Total height for the tire is 25.6 inches

Not really a big deal, your gearing will be a little longer, and on the highway you'll be going a few mph faster than what the speedo says. Tire height is like .7" more or something, I have run tires that are 3-4% taller in the past.

Then ill go the nitto route since I know they will fit on my +40 offset. Much appreciated for the input.
