Just purchased an 85 I'm going to keep in FL. and do not live in a Southern Climate. Needs new rubber. Any recommendation ?

Potenza RE750, love mine..

They don't last though but about 15-18k miles on my 95TT.. So if it's a daily driver you would want something else.

The wet/dry traction is great, and they aren't noisy at all.

Not a daily driver, only approx 4,000 per year. Thanks Tom

Sorry forgot second part. How do they do in heavy rain ? Again not having FL experience that is a concern. Tom

Kuhmo's are good (wet/dry) .. but I'm in CA .. and it never rains in CA ..
go to tire rack's website .. they have a pretty good tire comparison page ..

YOKOHAMA-- sticky, durable, good handling--reasonable pricing--even found at costco--go with high perf, of course!! i have kumho's on my AE, yokohamas on my na, and kumho's on my 86 ttop turbo--i like the yoko's best.

oh-yeah--it never rains in sunny california, but, when it does, ya need a BOAT

with a wet environment, find a sticky (low durability, better road hugging capacity) tire such as pirelli potenza, yokohama--something with lower mileage warranty--the harder compound will only help you do slippery 4 wheel slides, as opposed to drifts--your choice--longevity or road hugging???in wet, an all weather high performance tire would be good--i use them for freewaycommuting in LA--rains there, for some reason. for hiway 1 the coast road and performance, i like a low profile sticky tire. have fun. you want to do your own tire testing for your oen comfort--it is individual.

I Have No Idea What Kind Of Tyres But My Brothers Fiance' Is From Ithaca.

C O L D up there--self warming tires, i hope? not politically incorrect to wear FUR--good place.
