The P7 Colleziones are great. Not quite as good an all around tire as the Yoko A-008Ps that I have since normalized on for the street. The A052s are the bomb, but not period-correct look. Weather permitting, I run the A052s for road rallys.

I tried a set of 225 + 245 R Comps, including my one and only track day at Laguna Seca in Gemini. TONS of grip, but... the 8s w/ 225s up front worsened the steering feel (and the wide body steering feel is already not as good as the narrow bodies out of the gate). There's an argument to be made for less grip being more on these cars in terms of steering feel and how alive / playful the cars feel when you're hustling them in the corners.


Grippy AF!...
