I'm in need of new tires for the Talon, the OEM Goodyears are quite toasted.
Does anybody have a good stock size tire they'd recommend? I was looking at maybe the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS, the Continental ContiExtremeContact, the Kumho ECSTA KH11, or the Kumho Ecsta MX. -------------------- Eric Wort

Yeah, the '93 RX-7 my friend (with a 96 GS-T) just bought has the PFD 13lb wheels. The wheels also have a 1992 date of manufacture on them.
Also, mounted on those PFD wheels were Toyo Proxes FZ4, and I must say the car was quite a pleasure to drive with these on it. Not even that much wheelspin in 1st gear, at least to other 3G RX-7's I've ridden in. Sidewall flex was pretty minimal during highspeed lane changes, etc. I think these might be a little too expensive for my Talon though at $120 a piece. On our way back to Chambana, we ran into a 90-91 AWD Talon that wanted to play with the GS-T some. He had no exhaust beyond the downpipe, an S-AFC, triple gauge pillar, and hoodpins, of all things. Who knows what was under the hood. The stocker GS-T held its own pretty well. -------------------- Eric Wort
