tires?
Can I get oppinions on the best tires that C32 owners have experienced.
I personally am using Fuzion hr1 tires: tread life is probably about 14000 miles. Grip the road pretty well. I like them, but I really have no other tires to compare them to.
Your oppinion...

on stock 17" wheels, i ran Toyo T1-S (now discontinued, replaced by T1-R) in stock fitment. i was very very pleased, they gripped well, had some wet traction, not too loud, and were fairly cheap. in my experience, they were a better buy than the stock Pirelli P-Zeros.
i ran Falken GRB-FK451 and now run Goodyear Eagle F1-GSD3 on 19's, both in sizes 235/35/19 up front, 265/30/19 in rear. the falken sidewalls enabled you to go very low, produced average road noise, and gripped OK. when i switched to Goodyear Eagle F1-GSD3, traction is improved, road noise is about the same maybe a bit less. the Eagle F1-GSD3 in the same size caused me to rub, as the sidewalls were much much taller than those of the Falkens. Falkens are great if you want to run low and wide without rubbing. performance-wise the Goodyear Eagle F1's are much better. i do not, but wish i had, experience with Michelin PS2 and Toyo T1-R. for the price, i am very pleased with the Eagle F1's, other than that i had to raise the car to accomodate their tall, tall sidewalls.
