good tires for 400+ hp?
my shop just test drove the car after the turbo install. apparently the stock tires dont like boost and slip even when rolling. so just wondering what kind of "sticky" tires would be recommended.

How about PS2s? The roads out in LV are very slick. My car slips all the time and Im not running any boost.
Side note. When are you going to come out for a meet? I can't wait to see the TT G37. I am on GZCON as well.

what size rims do you have. I have a few recommendations but some of the good sticky tires are limited on sizes
YOKOHAMA ADVANS SPORT
NITTO NT05
DUNLOP SPORT MAXX GT
Those are some that won't brake your wallet but as you may know, the sticker the tires, the less tread wear meaning less tire life

Getting some wider rims so you can fit wider tires will help a ton too

first of all you need wider tires. there are lots of good brands out there but i know people running t1-r's, invos, etc with 500rwhp and getting good traction.
