I'm looking for some new tires for my RX8 rims and need to get some good Wet traction tires without scraficing Dry traction completely. I don't drive in the snow but do get a lot of rain up here in the Pacific Northwest.
The stock Bridgestones are really crappy in heavy rain and if the streets are wet, I break them loose all the time when I hammer down on the thottle.
I use to run Falken Azenis full time when I was autocrossing about 5 years ago on a MSP and I loved the Dry handling and Wet traction was better than I expected. Definitly better than the stock Bridgestones that came on that car. To be fair, the width of the Falkens was increased.
Anyone running some new Falkens? How is the wet handling?
Any suggestions on any other tire that would do great in both wet and dry conditions?
What size would you go with for the 18x8? I was thinking of 235/40.
Thanks for your input.(lol)
