Hello All

Just bought a 1992 Soarer TT, and it seems that even with the new dunlop sports on it, the rear wheels loose grip way to often, Now I know I live in Vancouver and it rains so much. But I am looking for some tires that are more suited to the Soarer. I had a 2003 Mustang Cobra (Piece of Junk, should have listened and stayed Japanese!) and I rarely felt the rear tires spin, unless I really made them. But my Soarer it seems even with the slightest dip into boost, they break loose, whether its dry or rainy (worse though. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in Advance

Wrong year on the Cobra; should have gone with something from a '68 era ;)

I put some nice 255 Falken 452s on my Soarer.
Don't really have much for complaints about them.

Are you keeping your stock wheels or upgrading Josh?

Thanks for the links. Dale, I think I am going to stay stock wheels for the moment. Sort of small, but the Roads here in B.C. are rather rough, and not in good shape.

Anyways back to the OP question. I use BF goodrich GForce Sports and i love them, good dry grip, decent off weather grip and a 340 treadwear rating in a high performance tire.

Plus with the dollar you can get great deals out of the states right now.
