Well driving around my turbo 98 SE for a month now something has become very
apparent even from early on. TRACTION, or the lack thereof. Only on concrete
roads can I keep traction through second. I'm running 205/50-15 Toyo Proxes
T1+ tires, the same tires Searl ran in the Ultimate SE-R article in SCC,
which is reprinted on SE-R.net.
"215/40-17 Toyo Proxes T-1 Plus tires were installed at each corner. ... The
T-1's are some of the most sticky non-race compound rubber you can buy. On
other cars we have been pleasantly surprised with the amount of tenacious
grip that these tire can provide."
Well I have these and in the size I have, they do not provide near enough
grip. I was curious what ya'll do for more grip.
Has anyone with a turbo that was able to fit 225s been satisfied with the
amount of grip they have? Or is it still not enough for 250hp to the wheels
and less?
Has anyone fitted wider wheels using offset wheels, spacers, or even
bodywork to roll the fenders?
Does anyone drive around on race rubber like Nitto 555Rs or similar tires?
Does this satisfy the need for grip in 205 wide rubber?
Just trying to find a solution to this problem. It's the most annoying thing
about the car now. I know I don't have LSD, but I've driven Ben Moses'
DETized 92 SE-R and it's the same way.
What would ya'll recommend I do for a solution?
