Eddie, what tyres are they mate?
I'm running T1Rs. Yours look like they're semi slicks.
Edit: i seen they're RA1s. I looked them up and F*** me. tread wear is 100. That's so low. They wont last you at all. well may be you if you drive the car
But they wont last me. Mine are 290 which isn't bad. ~300 is good for a 'sports' tyre.

They are awesome ... they stick like glue and I love them
They are not noisy either ....
They do throw up rocks a bit more, into the wheel well, but that is to be expected with such a sticky tire ( or as you guys would say Tyre )
Best regards
Ed

245/45-16 Options
Will not willingly give up my ClubSport rims on my '89 928 GT. Soooo, called Tire Rack for a recommendation. They suggested BF Goodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2 in 255/50-16. Top performing Ultra High Perf. Summer tire (out of 28) tested by Tire Rack. If you look at June 24 Autoweek, pg. 15, you will get a good look at tread (and $50 MC reward card incentive until 27 July. The UTQG rating is 340, while "old" ZRi 245/45-16 was 320. I am a little worried about 0.6" increase in height and extra 5mm (each side) width. Anyone have any advice/opinion??
