Caliente tires
I found a nice looking tire , it's called a Caliente (spare the name) made my Bridestone or BF goodrich I can't remember. Anyone heard of this tire? It was at a tire shop, but I cannot find anything close to it on the internet.
It's rated at a 300A tread, and it has a very stiff lower sidewall compared to other tires, is that a good thing? Priced at 45 bucks.
I'm tempted to purchase the tire, but the name Caliente is not helping. Help!
Edit:
Kai, I think both are fun. When I had a 165 tire, I was sideways on everyturn. Was fun and safer (safer meaning slower), but I needed more speed. Once the 205's came, it was no joke, full throttle on every turn. I still get loose, but not at low speeds anymore. The 165's were nice, dirfts were easier to navigate. With the 205's it's a bit tuffer because youre now going 60mph through that turn instead of 45. Trust me, you can still get loose!
It depends what you like aswell. I get over doing drifts on every turn, but then I have my weeks where I like to slide all over.
I'm with Joe on the 165 idea, once some funds kick in, I might have to buy me some steels again. One month on the 165's and the next on 205's.
