Hi,
I am new on this forum, from dubai in the middle east. My car is on its way from dallas, i will get it within a month.
I saw everybody criticizing the RSA tires, i can not give any feedback as i never drive it.
Is the problem because of wet and dry?
Here in dubai, it is almost never raining, will it fit better for me or not.
By the way, what are the size of our tires (normal solstice) and is it easy to put larger tires, if yes what sizes fits without any special modification.
Thanks,
Thomas

Just my own personal experience.

For everyday dry driving there is nothing wrong with the RSAs.
In the wet you need to be cautious because they will hydroplane fairly easily.
If you want to go out and really mix it up on some nice curvy roads the RSAs are not the best selection, but they will perform fairly well.
Most of us have found that the best ride and handling can be obtained with 29 psi.

The wheel clearance on the Sol does not lend itself to using much large tires, I would suggest using the same size tire, and there are many out there that will out perform the RSAs.

Tire Rack is a supporting vendor here on the forum, and would be a good source of information as well as someone who could ship directly to you, although the cost could be prohibitive.

Like I said those are just my observations, you will probably get some different opinions from others on here.

Anyway, welcome to the forum and I am sure you will really love your new car.
