RE730's 225/45/17 Auto-X performance review......
Well, as some may know I just upgraded to 17" wheels and tires. This past sunday ran my 1st Auto-X with them.
This is my 3rd Auto-X ever so I am a Rookie, I ran the 2nd Fastest time of ALL rookies, just getting inched out by an M3. Yahoo!!!
Without a doubt, the reduced sidewall, and increased stiffness, and larger road contact made all the diffrence in the world!! These tires are great!
So, if anyone is on the fence about upgrading to 17" set up, DO IT!
Now any tire/wheel will change the car, but the RE730 with their 300 treadwear rating still perform, and will last a while. Longer than OEM.
Now they are pretty scuffed up on the first groove from the outside from steering into all of the tight turns, but the 17" upgrade makes the car feel so much more secure, and the RE730's look better than the dunlop 8000E after their 1st Auto-X did!!

I'm in rookie 5, C Street prepared.
thanks for reading
