Anyone have any insight about the Toyo Extensa hp grip? Any good?
Yeah grip is the problem I'm having. I've got a custom stage 2, it's an aggressive tune. I'm close 300hp and I spin my tires in a 3rd gear pull. I need grippy tiresI have them on the fronts (225/40/18) I don't think their grippy tires I tried launching the car at 2200 rpm and still get wheel spin. I'm lowered on Koni yellow w/ h&r SS, hpa red puck, 034 motorsport street density engine and trans mount. I'm sure they can be a tad better if you had ALK installed and a dog bone mount.
It really seems to me there are only a few tires that are able to hold any kind of power on this platform
Disagree, there's many many options. People want the best of all worlds, longevity, all season, and good grip. You can't have all three.

I've been reading really good things about Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Tirerack has them right now for $102 for 225/40/18s. Meanwhile pilot super sports are $190 with the same size.
Someone just told me about the firehawks 2 days ago but they never used them before. Just heard good things. You know what the warranty is like?I've been reading really good things about Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Tirerack has them right now for $102 for 225/40/18s.

Yeah that doesn't seem bad, I'll have to give it a look. I feel like tires are really just a guessing game. It's hit or missLooks like kind of a weak warranty. At least compared to a tire like the PSS that has a 30k treadlife warranty. There's no treadwear warranty. Uniformity warranty is first 1/32" of wear, and the workmanships & materials warranty is 5 Years / Free replacement first 3 years, then prorated until 2/32" remaining depth.
For $100 a tire if they grip as well as people say, and the treadwear is also as good as I've heard, I wouldn't sweat it.
