Turbo II is on a distinguished road
Wynstar Phaser R21 tires that I think came from Pep Boys back in the year of the big snow..... Came on my Vert when I got it. I drove the piss out of the car trying to kill them so I could get some new "good" tires. I did Deals Gap on them, VIR, back roads, aggressive here, there and everywhere... I never rotated, checked air pressure or anything on them. Almost 5 years later and I finally need to change the fronts now since the inner/outer tread is kaput. The rear tires look like they'll go for another 3 or 4 years. Go figure. Other than the sidewall being a little soft these things have been great. If I could find them I swear I'd put them back on the car.

Now on the Turbo, I killed a set of Pirelli Pzero or whatever they were that was on the car when I got it in less than a year. Do not want. Put some TOYO T1Rs on it and really liked them. I thought they were a great tire for street and did well on track. Right now I have some Falken RT615s which have been on it about 5 months that I'm still trying to figure out if I like or not. I haven't really been able to try them on the track other than in a monsoon where surprisingly they did extremely well.
