TSW Snetterton or XIX? and Tires
I've seen the threads on the XIX's I've been looking at the TSW Snetterton also. Does anyone have any experience the the TSW's?
Are Toyo proxies T1r a better choice for a street/track tire than the stock tires??? Or does someone have another recommendation. I'll probably only track the car twice a year or so.

theyre both heavy wheels.
I hate the stock tires, never felt comfortable on them.
Ive been running falken fk452's for a few years now and LOVE them, they are a lil noisy but not terrible and they grip great.
I was going to try out the yoko s.drives on my new rims, but then i saw they dont really stretch too well which is the look im going for so i stayed with the falkens.

Well if Potenza is... Well then Vredestein Ultra Sessanta is in my opinion is a better tire.
Very affordable(est $650.00 a set), Quieter and grips better, even as good in the rain. Had them over a month now and very happy!
PS: I forgot to add that after getting lower aspect ratio tires (lower profile 35/30) the ride comfort is great - the same as the stock 45/40 Potenza's!

I'm really leaning towards the TSW's but I probably won't pull the trigger till Aug. or Sept. I'm just doing research right now and my current tires should be good til then I'm about 3 mm from the wear bars at 16,000 miles. I'm actually surprised how well the OEM tires are wearing.
TJHG37S - your XIX'S look really tempting but I really like the lighter color hyper silver TSW Snettertons. Thanks for the offer though.
